Guide 2 Christmas   >   Sled

Sled

A sled or sleigh is a vehicle with runners or skis for sliding over snow or ice.

Sleds are usually simpler and lighter than sleighs, and when used a toy, are typically allowed to slide downhill under the force of gravity. The simplest type of sled of all is a tobbogan which has no runners, but instead the bottom of the tobbogan rides directly on top of the snow.

About the Production of Mountain Boy Sleds
In his small, family-run workshop Huangyan, China, Yu Guanglin and his crew make by hand, paying attention to the beauty of the wood, selecting the best materials, and getting all the details right. He buys sustainably harvested birch logs, and has planks cut from them to just the right thickness. All the little pieces are used to make ornaments, and the sawdust is used to fire the wood-drying kiln, so there's very little waste. In his shop, Mr. Yu carefully prepares all the materials: each plank is planed by hand, and each willow branch is peeled and sanded by his crew. When he assembles the sleds, he makes sure that all the parts match and have no flaws.

Mountain Boy sledmaker Brice Hoskin is fluent in Mandarin, and travels to China to inspect sleds several times a year. In Mountain Boy's long relationship working with Mr. Yu, Brice has been able to closely monitor not just the quality of the product, but also working conditions and the way the workshop is run. The 8 to 10 skilled craftsmen who work in Mr. Yu's shop have chosen his company because of its commitment to safe working conditions and dependable year-round employment. Mr. Yu provides housing for all of his workers and their families to ensure that both the work and living environments are as hospitable as possible.
