Abstract
A sledge comprises a seat portion supported via stays on a pair of main runners and a steering runner assembly rotatably mounted in a forward part of the seat portion. At a rear position of the sledge, the stays are connected pivotably about lateral axes to the seat portion and the pair of main runners respectively, and at a forward part of the sledge the main runners are connected pivotably about a longitudinal axis to the seat portion via a joined upwardly curved front portion of the main runners. The pivotable connections between the sledge seat portion and main runners provides for smooth stable sledging and steady steering.
