How much weight is too much weight?

[Beets]

I have about a 100lbs of gear and pulls like 20-40lbs depending if its ice or snow. If go more than a couple hundred yards it gets tough to pull. I use a retractable dog leash(50ft) to pull my sled,nice to pull up hills as I can go to the top and ratchet it up to the top.
Keep the skis waxed!Tight lines.

this is the best picture I got right now, snow is packed in that picture cause everyone walks there but we went all the way to the other end of that lake and snow was about 4-5" deep ... Worked great

I've always wanted to mount skis on a plastic shopping cart..

I think it would be funny as all get out to put some skis on a wall world shopping cart...

Maybe a tree stand safty harness would work.

   Yup.. If you or any of your friends hunt and have bought a tree stand or ladder stand they all come with those stupid factory harnesses... I must have 8 of them.   Just cut the straps that go around your legs and tie a 2ft piece of rope to the back with a craibener on the end..  That way you can reach it to attach to your sled rope...

Learning how to wax skis and using that knowledge will make your smitty easier to move on the snow. $75 will buy an iron, wax, a scraper and buffing cork. In good conditions 15 pounds of pull will move a 200 pound sled. This can get you started.  http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/glide-waxing-skis-snowboard.html
