Testimonials
Arctic traveler Ned Gillette of Stowe, Vermont describes our snow crafts as "unbelievably strong" and able to carry heavy loads smoothly and easily.
Beverly Johnson, Veteran Arctic and Antarctic traveler, expedition leader and photographer has depended on Hegg sleds for Polar expeditions.
In his authoritative book Winter Camping, recreational snow traveler Bob Cary devotes one entire chapter to the use of Nord Hus Sleds.
In cooperation with the U.S. Nordic Ski Patrol, Nord Hus custom designed and furnished the rescue sleds for the 1980 Olympics at Lake Placid, New York.
"The fiberglass sleds ... were of the highest quality that can be found anywhere. On our expeditions across Greenland and Lapland, we chose the best constructed and durable products that we could find. Hegg Sleds proved ... to be ideally suited for arctic expeditioning. ... No structure or equipment failures."
Paul D. Erickson, Minneapolis, MN, Expedition Leader, 1980 Minnesota Greenland Expedition and 1982 Minnesota Lapland Expedition.
"500 miles in Canada's high Arctic to 83 degrees north, skiing un-supported. Each man hauled 240 pounds of supplies for our 52 day expedition over chaotic ocean pack ice and polar ice caps. Erling, your sleds were the key equipment ingredient. Tough, clever in design, like a well-disciplined dog following behind."
Ned Gillette, Adventure Skier, Stowe, VT
"For 28 days, in temperatures from 40 to -58 degrees and a variety of snow conditions, it did its job. It never had to be babied or repaired. It was tough."
Gerald Cabot, the Examiner, Montreal, Quebec
"This is just a note to tell you how much I enjoyed my 6' sled. It performed better than Bob Cary's description. The workmanship is superior. It has completely changed snow camping for me."
