What's up?
Anyone know what has happened to the Paris Sled Company? REi is out of stock or not stocking them anymore, can't seem to find anyone else that is carrying them to order some.
Let me know if you can find anything.
What's up?

Windsailor,

Here are some links to pulk/sled sites.
I had more, one that sold the Paris sled by itself, and the set up as a back country bulk.
They must of went out of business?  All I get is a can't find site error message.

Check out the Pelican? Looks like a reasonable alternative. Plenty of styles for most applications.
Penob Bob is a homemade pulk based on the Paris sled.
You go to the home page link and there are plans for homemade pulks.
There's also a list of mfg's. Half are dead ends, the others are high end expensive sleds.

Under the Penob Bob link you can click on the Paris expedition sled.
That takes you to the Erapro link. They make the Paris sled.
Under the SnowToy link, you'll find the Paris sled.
Hope this helps.

windsailor,

Did you go to the ERA pro website?
IF you didn't, download the ERA PRO PARIS TOYS PFD. Click on the Contact link for info.

It's a 2011 catalog and if you scroll midway down you see they still make the Paris sled in various models.

They're a Canadian company, located in Quebec.
I didn't see a dealer list, but they do have a contact number/info.

IF they're still in business, there must be a way to get one in the States I would think?

They offer Pulks/systems based on the Paris sled and ones of their own design.
