Kicksledding is a new winter activity gaining traction nationwide and is now becoming local. Kicksledding is said to be a good alternative to cross country skiing, and is easier to do for people who physically may not be able to cross country ski, and it’s good exercise. Locally, there is a startup kick sled vendor that is looking to draw people into the activity. Co-owner of Door County Kicksled Alysha Pudlo says there is little to no learning curve on how to use the sleds, and mentions that there are a variety of usages for the sleds that range from runners being able to use it to stay in shape during the icy months when running could be dangerous, to ice fisherman being able to take it out on the water. Pudlo also adds that this is an activity families with children as young as 3 can participate in and says the most common uses of the sleds are on multi-use trails, state parks, and icy bodies of water.
