Nice PaddyO! Bought the same clam last year. My smitty was layed out for a Yukon, so I need shorten it a bit. I'll try and get a few pics.
Folks: Which is better in your opinion for the sled ? xcountry skis or downhill skis? Why?
Down hill, the front of the ski is wider and float over the rough crap and humps easy.
Can I see how you guys store your tip UPS in your sleds
have you looked around for any used down hill skis? I think mine cost like 10$ from Goodwill....
So I made a smitty sled last year, but on the maiden voyage it tipped over. I went with 2x8 risers, then 2x4 cross members and put a bolt through the 2x4 through into the riser. The bolts actually bent. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions to remedy it? It doesn't seem very sturdy... I am debating of cutting down the risers a bit more and trying to put in longer bolts. My bolts stick about 3" out of the 2x4 - is that sufficient?

Alright thanks everyone for the input. What about waxing the skis should I go that far or does it not make that much of a difference and how do people do it without having the right waxing equipment?
