Thanks all for the wonderfull anecdotes, since I only know how
to use
a sled here it's really usefull.

Might just add our used method to get the sleds uphill. Tie all
sleds in a row
behind a car (with non-skid chains) and drive uphill. We usually
even ride on
the sleds while pulled uphill.

How do you know the end of my story (20 sled trains down 2 km
roads)?<br>
Often, some farmer's tractor or merchant's van would tow the train
back uphill.<br>
<br>
As to the tags, the logic of my brain tells me:<br>
<br>
piste=? or highway=piste = the object followed by attributes:<br>
sled=yes<br>
ski=yes<br>
slope=7%<br>
length=240<br>
assistance:first-aid=yes<br>
leisure=yes (leisure is not an object but what you're doing with
one)<br>
competition=no<br>
drink=yes<br>
tractor=no<br>
more=probably<br>
<br>
Or something like that.<br>
But I'm certainly an iconoclast.<br>
<br>
