Diagonal braces from the ski points on one side of the toboggan to the toe irons on the opposite side are necessary to give rigidity. Ski poles, firmly tied in place, will serve for these braces. Cord will also serve this purpose; rawhide thongs stretch too much. Braces must not project beyond the sides of the toboggan. If all cords are pulled tight, this toboggan will prove to be very strong. If there is a shortage of tie ropes, the toe straps may be used to hold the rear brace in place by passing each toe strap around the brace and one ski. However, if the
snow is crusted, it is better to avoid passing cords or straps under the skis, as they would be cut by the ice. In any event straps or cords on the running surface of the skis greatly increase the friction in pulling. The exact relations of skis, braces, and lashings must, of course, be worked out in each toboggan.
The four-ski improvised toboggan is handled, so far as possible, in the manner described for the ready-made toboggan.
Two-ski rescue sled.—The improvised four-ski toboggan has one serious fault. If an accident occurs so far from a ski center that a ready-make toboggan cannot be had, it is usually not possible for an able skier to sacrifice the second pair of skis necessary for its construction. For this reason ski mountaineers should place most emphasis upon the two-ski toboggan. It can be used for any injury, but is most satisfactory for injuries which permit the victim to sit up while being transported.
Two basic types of sled are described, requiring different materials for their construction and serving under different conditions.
The first type of two-ski rescue sled is made of 1 pair of skis, 1 pair of ski poles, 2 braces 18-20 inches long, and cord or thongs—the materials used in the four-ski rescue toboggan, minus a pair of skis. The skis are placed in the snow about 18 inches apart, cross braces are tied ahead of the bindings and behind the ski points, and diagonal braces (ski poles) are tied across the frame from the point of one ski to the binding of the other. It will be noted that the construction of the two-ski rescue sled is the same as that of the four-ski sled, and that they are the same width.
A mattress of sweaters or boughs is more important with the two-ski toboggan. This sled is a little harder to
pull than the other toboggans described because it sinks deeper into the snow; however, the method of handling is essentially the same. If soft snow tends to come up between the skis, this can be prevented by running cords, sealskins, or canvas climbers back and forth between the ski poles.
