Two basic types of sled are described, requiring different materials for their construction and serving under different conditions. The first type of two-ski rescue sled is made of 1 pair of skis, 1 pair of ski poles, 2 braces 18-20 inches long, and cord or thongs—the materials used in the four-ski rescue toboggan, minus a pair of skis. The skis are placed in the snow about 18 inches apart, cross braces are tied ahead of the bindings and behind the ski points, and diagonal braces (ski poles) are tied across the frame from the point of one ski to the binding of the other. It will be noted that the construction of the two-ski rescue sled is the same as that of the four-ski sled, and that they are the same width. |
