Mad River Rocket

The Mad River Rocket is a sled but you kneel on it with a strap over your lower legs to keep you secured. The idea is that you have total control over the turns unlike a regular sled. It is named Mad River Rocket after Mad River Glen ski area which is very close to us. It is to be used in the back-country and if you can get permission - at a ski area. I bought this for Paul for his birthday in September and here he is getting freshies in our back yard. He says that it is so much fun, it's almost better than skiing! Ha, if you knew him then you'd know that it MUST be fun! From the pictures you can barely tell that he's moving but look at our dog! She loves it! Here are a couple of zoomed in pictures then a full shot so you can see the full slope. I'm going to give it a try tomorrow - can't wait!
