Ski Runners/Shanty

[oldstuff]

?- Have an old pair of waxable downhill ski's on bottom of fishtrap shanty to make it easier to pull in snow.  If you have ever done any cross country skiing with waxable ski's you will have snow depending on temp and amount of wax or lack of on the ski's sticking to bottom and make gliding difficult.  My thought was to try mounting a pair of waxless cross country skis on the old shack this year to see if it would be easier to pull. The only diff is that the waxless cross country skis are a lot narrower than reg downhill ski's  and more bowed which may make them more difficult to mount compared to the flatter downhill ski's. Anyone tried this with any degree of success?  Thanks!

yeah my buddy did that to his.It works quite well till the snow gets deep and the ski's can't support the weight of the sled or slush builds up on the ski's and freezes.

Polar,
Thanks for your reply. Will probably just keep the skis I have on the shack as is.  At least it cuts down on wear and tear on the bottom when pulling the shack over rocks and across the hwy. 

All the best
