Dog as tractor? Bad attempt at snow-sledding

We got a 1 1/2 feet of snow yesterday, and maybye another 1/2 foot today. Tried to go sledding down through our cornfields.

NG. Yesterday was 10 degrees and would have been perfect. Today, warmed to around 30 F and too soft.

I tried with my little kid and sunk in the snow. Then my young wife tried (she outweighs me by a bunch)and she sank worse then me.

Little kid got frustrated. But, we put a harness on our border collie and she had fun pulling the sled around.

Sorry, no real tractors, although I've got many buried in the snow.

great pics, handsome young man too, he's gonna be a tractor guru!!! beautiful countryside there!!! thanks for posting.
 
Had the same problem with my two sons trying to slide in the snow.They gave up and grabbed their snow shovels and helped for awhile.That looks like fun with the dog pulling the sled.

Otsego County, central New York - about 15 miles from Coopertown - where I've been told the Baseball Hall of Fame is at. I've been here 30 years and haven't gone over to look.
 
What are you doing saying that about your wife this close to Christmas? Trying to guarantee yourself a Christmas dinner of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches out in the barn by yourself? Don't be tempting fate like that. If she reads this, you're snuggling up to a bail of hay at best. HaHaHaHa.

Looks like the family had fun, and that's a good thing.

Great pictures! Looks like a lot of fun. Only thing missing is a good toboggan. When I was very young, my Dad came home with an 8' toboggan. I am lucky enough to have it today. Spreads your weight out enough were all 3 of you could slide down the hill in deep snow. It is a bit of work to tug up the hill... However, I have seen enough of your posts here to know you'll figure out a way to rig up some sort of a tow rope for the return trip.
 
We have lived on this hill for ever. When the kids were younger, i'd bring home an old car hood from the shop where i worked, rig up a tow rope, and we'd go rocketing down the back hill, then pull it back up and do it again!
Why don't you buy several 10:00x20 truck inner tubes, inflate them until they won't squash under yerz and the kids weight, and go slide on the hills! Great fun-fast-and you can literally fly off a jump off place, if there is one!
Got to be careful about trees--they will jump out in front of ya! I saw one of my boys, age 12, riding down a long hill with some other guys on a big tube, and they went past me at 12 feet off the ground, and really fast! City runner type sleds don't work very good out in the country, in snow deep enough to ride on. You need something that won't bog down!
