Have you guys heard of these sleds?

[Delo]

Well my wife has been in Italy now for almost 2 weeks for work Well she has been emailing pictures and where she is at now she sent a pic of the mountains and snow - looks awesome. So I thought I would Google if people sled in Italy. Well came up with this manufacture of sleds in Italy called Alpina. Apparently they make 2 models - a 4 stroke called the Sherpa and a 2 stroke called Superclass. Not big performance sleds more work sleds from what I have been reading. Apparently it is a dual track sled, twin 20" x 156".
Kind of a big ugly sled. For some reason I cannot copy and paste just a picture of sled, sorry.

You got that backwards. Nytro mated with a Tonka truck

sorry, it sounded funnier in my head.

Definitely looks like it weighs a few lbs. Could you sit any higher? I was trying to come up with a word with Nytro & Tonka combined but my mind is drawing a blank.

Maybe it's for "snurfin" the powder wake that boat puts out?

Looks difficult to side hill . A single track design might be neat.

Sweet vents. Fitting name, same name as the poor bastards that carry stuff up the mtn.

 

[SAWYER]

Their made as utility sleds, afew ski resorts use them. Made to tow trailers to the top/bottem of the mountain on groomnd runs. Also its a cheaper way to groom runs/cat tracks and not have to buy a big snocat. It weights like 800lbs no sidehilling going on their. Maybe the two tracks are because they dont make tracks that wide?
