Pick out an easy design. Start by sketching blueprints for your fast sled.
Have an upturned bow and 3 inch to 4 inch sidewalls. It should be about 48 by 14 in. and it should have parallel runners or ridges on the bottom. Small raised ridges markedly improve speed.
What you will need:
Corrugated cardboard
A good design and good blueprints
Scissors
Knife
Duct tape
Hard cardboard for runners
I hope you win your race!

Some of the best snow sled options for adults seeking a thrilling winter adventure include the Flexible Flyer Steel Saucer, the Yukon Hammerhead Pro HD Steerable Snow Sled, and the Slippery Racer Downhill Xtreme Toboggan Snow Sled. These sleds are durable, fast, and designed for maximum fun in the snow.
no, all cardboard is made of trees.
Husky is a sled dog. They haul the sled.
Some, but not all, cardboard is treated with wax or laminated. These forms of cardboard are considered to be waterproof.
Some cardboard and paper are recycled to make new cardboard, but the primary raw material for cardboard is wood (celulose).
Cardboard is porous, which means it is permeable to some extent. However, the level of permeability can vary depending on the type and thickness of the cardboard. Generally, cardboard can absorb and release moisture and air to some degree.
Cardboard itself is not poisonous. However, some inks and chemicals used in the production of cardboard may be toxic if ingested. It is best to avoid consuming any part of cardboard.

A sturdy and durable sled with good steering capabilities is the best option for sledding. Look for sleds made of durable materials like plastic or wood, and consider features like built-in steering mechanisms for better control on the slopes.
If light strikes cardboard, the cardboard will absorb some of the light and reflect the rest. The color and thickness of the cardboard will affect how much light is absorbed or reflected.
There is not a whole lot of information available as far as plans for dogsleds go. Probably the best way is to find a sled that you can look at or take measurements from and then build from there. I have found some basic information on line about sled building but even as a woodworker with 30 years experience I still did not feel it was enough information to build from.
Yes, it is possible to recycle glossy cardboard. Glossy cardboard can be recycled just like regular cardboard, but it may need to be sorted separately in some recycling programs.
