Brice Hoskin's lifelong fascination with wood sleds became a way of life when he moved to the high mountain town of Silverton, Colorado. He was able to combine his woodworking experience with his love of sledding to create innovative, beautiful sleds designs.

Mountain Boy sleds give new meaning to the term "functional art" - they are known for their durability, speed and craftsmanship. "Sledding brings out the happy child in each of us," says Hoskin, who spends many winter afternoons sledding with his two young children.

Hoskin's wooden sleds hearken back to a century ago, when craftsman made sleds by hand out of fine wood and steel. He uses northern birch, a wood that combines beauty and strength, with copper accents and durable plastic for high-wear areas. While his sleds complement any home, they are also made to last. Each sled is designed to be passed from one generation to the next.

Throughout the winter, families can be seen using Mountain Boy sleds to take their children to school, get groceries at the local store, and race down the local ski hill.
