About Paricon
Paricon has had a long and colorful history in the sled-making business, starting in 1861 with the founding of a family business, Paris Manufacturing, in South Paris, Maine, by the great grandfather of current CEO, Hank Morton. From then through today, and into the future, the story unfolds.It all started, in 1861, when Henry Morton married Lucilla Forbes and the young couple started making sleds in their home. Henry constructed the sleds by hand and his wife decorated them. Their son, Will, an accomplished artist, distinguished himself as a sled painter, specializing in water scenes and scrolls. Hand-decorated sleds today are much sought after by collectors, but the originals were probably meant to ensure that each sled would be a child's prized possession.
During the early 1900s, when each sled was made by hand, the company employed close to 300 workers. It continued in operation as a family business, still employing 200 workers, until the family gave up ownership in 1970s and sold to Gladding Corporation. In 1978, Hank Morton, great-grandson of the founder, headed a group of investors that purchased the company back from Gladding.
Today, Hank and his sons, Ted and Tom, are continuing the family tradition in the sled business with Paricon. The sled line has evolved to include a wide assortment of products for winter use sleds, including steel runner and plastic models at various price points; snowboards; foam sliders; inflatable tubes; wooden toboggans and snow toys. Paricon serves customers throughout the U.S. from its distribution center in South Paris with high-quality products and on-time delivery.

These are very narrow and not truly for 2 people. We still enjoyed them in the recent snow and love that there are 3. Wish they had a tow rope which is the only reason I didn't give them a 4.

Great sled for kids or adults. Light weight and inexpensive. We live in Georgia and I wanted to have them on hand just in case we get snow. I was lucky enough to get to use them twice this year. They are fast and are perfect for adults and children

Item was advertised as coming in 3 different colors, I received 3 blue sleds. Honestly, not a big deal. Took them on a weekend getaway with our kids and literally the first time i went down the hill the sled shattered into like 4 pieces. Not too long after that my daughter shattered a second sled. I guess its a good thing you get 3 🙄. Temperatures were in the upper 20s/low 30s so not super cold. Definitely not what i expected from an american made product that was advertised as being made of “better materials”.

We bought these sleds for my 9-year old son to use during our snow days this year. 2 of the 3 sleds completely cracked, one getting a giant hole in the middle of it during the first hour of use making both unusable. The 3rd sled of the pack hasn't been used but the plastic is just thin, weak, and brittle, so unless you plan to go very gently go down a small hill at slow speeds it is a waste of money.If you are looking for an alternative, after these broke I ordered the AGPTEK 47 Inch Snow Sled on Amazon, which I would recommend as an alternative. While more expensive, the plastic is MUCH more durable . My son used it multiple times already on the bigger hill (with jumps, crashing...etc) and it held up perfectly and should last for years.

I bought a three pack for my boys. We live in the south and it NEVER snows here. They have (plus my wife and myself) played on them for three days straight. It’s been a great time. They’re the perfect length for kids and adults. They slide well - but it may be beneficial for a place to actually hold on to. The sleds can handle a lot of weight, but they lack durability after the snow isn’t “soft” anymore. My only recommendation is that they’re a little thicker - other than that, we love them! Will likely purchase again if we get snow a second time!

Bought these for me and my beer drinking friends in advance of last week's big snowstorm. We had a total blast using them, but they are not indestructible. The cold makes them brittle, and keep your feet and knees out of them. Just find a big hill, sit or lie down and have someone give you a big push. We inadvertently found a 3 foot dropoff which was the ultimate demise of all three sleds. We were finding pieces of jagged blue plastic in the woods a day later (ok, we were sledding at night the first time and didn't see the dropoff). The upshot is, you can stack them together as they start to come apart. Have some duct tape on hand; some nice long strips on the bottom and covering cracks, and you've got at least another 30 minutes of sledding. They really fly on a nice steep downhill. Steering takes some practice, best achieved by using your hands as rudders. All that said, these are perfect for little kids but adults need to take it easy, or do what we're going to do next time, and find some aircraft grade aluminum bullet shaped projectiles coated with a non-nutritive cereal varnish, and take to the neighborhood slopes once again. Bring the snow!

Bought these for my boys (ages 9 & 14) for Christmas. Hit a bump on the third trip down the hill and the sled shattered into a bunch of pieces on landing. They never rode the other ones again and were very disappointed in their Christmas gift. It was only -10C, I'd hate to see what they'd do if it was actually cold out.

I was worried when I bought these sleds that they might suck - the only reason I could think of that they came in a 3 pack was that they must be poorly made, and will break easily... But this is not the case! They seem sturdy, and fit me and my son easily. I am really happy I got them, and I think the value is great. Next year when my son is old enough to sled on his own we will have one for him, one for me, and one for my husband - so now I'm glad I have 3! The only downside to these sleds is they don't come with string pulls, only holes for them. So you will need to add your own string. Not really a big deal.
