The Ultimate Flyer is an elegant,
hand-made beauty that glides and turns like no other sled you’ve ever
tried. The entire front section of the sled pivots, letting you make
much sharper turns than on a conventional flexible flyer. And, it looks
great standing on the porch in between sled runs. The Flyer is made to
last for generations: thick birch planks, hand-carved willow hand rails
and stainless-steel hardware make it tough, and we can engrave a
child’s name right onto the sled.
Outside Magazine
recommended the
Ultimate Flyer in their Holiday Gift Guide, calling it a "steerable
snow rocket."
Better Homes & Gardens
called the
Ultimate Flyer "a modern sled that will give anything on the hill a run
for the money."
The New York Times
named the Ultimate Flyer an "instant heirloom."
When we build
an Ultimate Flyer, we start with planks of
beautiful, golden birch. We plane down the planks, sand them, burn in
the Mountain Boy brand, and give every piece several coats of a
lead-free, marine-grade finish. We attach hand rails of hand-carved
willow, giving each sled a unique look and feel. Copper ferrules between
the body of the sled and the rails add to the rustic look, while adding
substantial strength.
On the bottom of the sled, we attach a pair
of proprietary, custom-molded plastic skids. We like to think of them as
greased lightning -- they are very fast, but their shape allows for
smooth, decisive turning. Contoured runners bite into the snow or ice so
you can carve down hard-packed slopes, while a solid bottom of
custom-molded slippery plastic lets the sled float through soft snow.
Our crew is made up of people who are both sledding fanatics and
woodworkers – as you can imagine, they are always trying to design each
sled to be as beautiful, functional and sturdy as possible.
The Ultimate Flyer
meets all ASTM, USC and CE child safety criteria. The finish is
lead-free. Please contact us if
