A braking member attachable to a sledder's boot is provided. The braking member includes a braking surface that is oriented at a specific ranges of angles with respect to the boot. In use, the braking surface engages the snow like an anchor as the sledder traverses snow covered terrain, thereby producing a braking force against sled forward movement. In one embodiment, the braking member is rotatably attached to the boot and is moveable between a first, walking position, and a second, braking position. In another embodiment, the braking member is fixed in the braking position.

Boot mounted braking device for snow sleds

A sled ( ) traversing a surface is provided. The sled includes a shell ( ) having an upper surface, a lower surface, and spaced first and second ends. The sled also includes a steering assembly ( ) coupled to at least the shell, elongate first and second runners ( ) and ( ), and a pivot assembly ( ) extending between the shell and at least one of the first and second runners. The pivot assembly permits pivoting motion of the first or second runner relative to the shell. The sled also includes a first attachment assembly ( ) extending between the shell and at least one of the first and second runners, such that the first attachment assembly permits sliding and pivoting motion of the first and second runners relative to the shell.
