They work great. I made my own. I went to a climbing store and bought 30 feet of 3/8" bungee cord and tied it in a continuous loop, attach a carabiner on each end, folded the bungee over 4 times, and then put some webbing loops on the carabiners. You can yank on it or attach to another sled. If it is super deep, I keep this in my jacket pocket. I also made sleeve of bicycle inner tube over cord to keep it compact.
Yamaha has them this year. They work great, even for towing them Doos so you don't rip the front end off 
Joking aside, they are a great product, gotta be the easiest way to pull out a stuck sled.

Love mine too. Where are you? Ask your local dealer and they'll tell you where to get one. I bought mine off the internet and saved about $30 bucks but can take awhile to come from the US. Guys will try to tell you that you can make your own that work just as well..... might be cheaper but I seriously doubt that they are as safe or work as well. 
Order this too:

For what it's worth...
I ride with the girl a lot, there have been occasions where I have gotten stuck pretty bad where bringing her sled down (or up) to snowbungie me out isn't an option.
Here is what I have done to get unstuck...
I carry one of the snowbungie rope ratchets in my kit along with the full size sled bungie and a couple of webbing slings with some extra carabiners. Basically I put the sling around a tree, attach the rope winch, run it to the sled bungie (hooked to the sled) and put as much tension on it as I can. I should note that prior to this, I have dug the sled out a bit, stomped out the approach some and shifted the track over to packed down snow (normal prep). Once this is set up, I start the sled and pop the throttle while standing to one side and it pops right out and can be ridden away.
Disclaimer, of course this doesn't work if you have nothing to anchor to...

Love mine too, my rear bumper is all scrapped up from using it all the time.
On a side note here- anybody ever break one while using it? Everytime i do use it in a really bad stuck i try to shield myself with the sled as much as possible (duck low on the seat or lean on opposite side of the sled).

Breakage: Yep. Loaned it to a friend who tied onto a sled that was actually hung up on a tree trunk we couldn't see. When he hit the end with his machine, the stuck sled didn't budge. The pulling sled had lots of traction, and the bunje broke.
Safety: yep, keep your helmets on and hide however you can. We had two bunjies and a rope on a sled down over a hill crest, and the rig came off the stuck sled. Rig came flying up over the hill and about nailed the driver of the pulling sled as well as bystanders.
Getting out by your self without an anchor: I heard of this, certainly wouldn't do it on a hillside, a ledge or a creek: Get a small S hook. Tie parachute court to one end, close the end. Drill a hole in the throttle lever in which the open end of the S hook can be inserted. Do all the digging, stomping etc. Hook the S hook through the throttle lever hole, lay out the cord along right ski, grab the ski loop and the cord, jerk the ski and pull gently on the string.... Any takers?

I agree the bungee is a great tool to pack along, especially with a Rope Ratchet.
I made my own handheld bungee several years ago. From what I've experienced, it works very welll. As far as safety - yes, breakage is always a concern but what I like about mine is that the cord is a continuous loop with one knot - if the knot comes loose the cord will unwind rather than snap. The other thing I like is that I can visually inspect where the cord goes thru the hook & handle ends which allows me to watch for signs of fraying. One other benefit - it can be made any length you want so I sized mine so that I can put it around my waist and use a carabiner to hold the ends together.

I have used the parachute cord and S hook for many years until I bought my Snowbungie. I got tired of being run over when the sled popped out of the hole
Now I have a Highjacker to try out. It can fall on me instead.

Have had the handheld (rattler) and s hook (Cobra) bunjes for years. It is the only way to go, I always carry both.
