Where is Rudolph?
It Santa upgrading as the adds for toys claim this year to something more mechanical?
I don't think so, Rudolf would not be happy with that since all of them operate in the Spiritual realm and have no need of our self-achieving technology!
But on the serious side the sleigh remains and essential piece of kit for travel on the ice, in many polar regions, with both helicopters and aircraft being fitted with them!
We have progressed from wood to steel and many newer metals to improve stability and speed, the skiing sports industry has helped along with military requirements! Much more has actually been developed in Antarctica than on our more populated North-Pole.
One last word for you boring people out there who don't believe in Santa or Christmas, nothing for you this year????

Bob Sleigh. Part-Two.
Jerking About!
It is amazing how much this unstable sled has proved to be a lasting success from the Lapplanders in northern-Finland to the Eskimos of Alaska and Canada. Simple to build from wood to the present day fibre glass and polyma plastics, from animal power to a small engine?
Some designs were developed as nothing more than a wooden bow, but all continue to be effective in keeping goods dry, transporting young children to older folks and on to slaughtered animals?
The only community not to use them on a small scale is an off shoot of the Evenki in northern Siberia, Russia who are the only ones to have developed a sled house-caravan, which they power with reindeer and live all year around in.
During the summer they visit the shore line and remain staic, but seem to do more moving about in the snow covered month?
