Stand on the runners of a kicksled, push off with one foot like a scooter, and glide over packed snow or ice — kicksledding is a simple Nordic winter transport turned leisure activity that works for every age and fitness level.

The Essentials

  • A kicksled has two long metal runners under a chair-height frame with handlebars — stand on the runners with one foot and kick with the other to build speed.
  • Works best on packed snow, groomed trails, or plowed ice — deep unpacked powder slows the runners down and makes kicking hard work.
  • Many models have a seat between the handlebars where a child, groceries, or a small dog can ride while you push.
  • Bend your knees slightly and keep your weight centered over the runners for stability, especially on turns or uneven patches.
  • No special skill or lessons are needed — most people pick up the balance and kicking rhythm within a few minutes.
  • Popular for both errands on snowy paths and recreational outings on frozen lakes; some models fold flat for easy storage in summer.
