Peavey Mart usually has the Otter sleds and goodies to go with them (ie tow bar, cover, etc). I saw Pelican sleds in Costco last week and sleds in Wholesale Sports (North) but I'm not sure of the make. Like Mark said, Cabelas likely has them as well. I picked my Otter sled up off kijiji.

Snowmobile sleigh
Strangely enough, walmart carries the equinox brand of sleighs?! You have to special order them though, I know this as I found a receipt from my wife's Xmas shopping this year! Oops!

I was looking into these sleds guys and It seems it is tough to find one that I like and in stock anywhere.
I basically want one that is about 6 feet long and with high sides. It has to have a cover I found out on my last trip out with the one I have and also come with a snowmachine tow bar. If anyone sees anything like this let me know. I want it small enough I can easily throw it in the back of my truck as well. Some of these things I have looked at weigh a ton.

Ive seen these, and they seem very high quality. They also have a model with a lid like you are looking for Nube. They are in Saskatchewan but I think Flamans and Halford Hide are distributors for them.

This is what I got this winter, really like it so far, light weight, durable, doesn't tip, cheap, and on sale right now at home hardware.

I believe that Costco is a distributor for Pelican sleds but the Sport 75 may have to be special ordered. I had a look at buying one last year but I found a good deal on a used medium Otter sled so I went with that.

The Costco in St. Albert had a stack of Pelican sleds (looked to be about 6'), with runners for ~$150. It included the hitch attachment and cover. They still had some as of the weekend. I think it had a 500lb capacity.

I saw those. They look to be the size of a medium Otter sled. Pretty good deal IMO.

The Pelican 75 is a tough sled, i built a hitch onto the back of mine and use it to pull the groomer behind the sled. Sometimes the groomer catches on a tree hard enough to send me over the windsheild, sled stands the abuse.
i have about 4000+kms and forth year on this one.

Hey there nube . Just checked out the pelican 75 . One major draw back is the hitch I prefer it where they attach on the sides that way you can stand it up when not in use.and if it slides into a tree the hitch ramps the sleigh back on trail. The pelican style hitch usually just gets dropped into the snow when in hooked.

Toboggan
My equinox toboggan arrived today via courier to the door, 8 days after ordering. Free delivery. Not that I'm endorsing walmart but I'm happy so far! It does not have runners on it though.

With all of that fur that you're catching are you sure that it's going to be big enough? You might have to make a couple of trips to get everything back to the shack.
