At least eight good skiers are needed to handle the toboggan properly unless the snow is hard and the distance short. In the interests of efficiency, one of them should be designated as leader of the group. Ropes for pulling should be tied to all four corners and an additional line may be rigged to the middle of the front of the toboggan. The corner lines must not be longer than necessary or they will render wood-running very difficult. At least one man should be stationed behind the toboggan as brake and rudder. If the snow is not deep, those doing the pulling should tie their skis to the toboggan and walk on the snow. This is particularly important for the men in the rear. If it is necessary to wear skis, rope or cord may be tied around them to prevent sliding. Plush skins will help.
In crossing roads, rocks, or steep slopes the toboggan may be lifted as a stretcher, six men carrying it so that a slip by one will not be disastrous. Bandannas tied around the shoes may increase traction on icy slopes.
The victim of an accident will thank his rescuers for using the greatest care in pulling the toboggan. They should work smoothly, and unless it is very cold or darkness is coming on there is no need to rush. They should pick their course carefully to avoid bumps, steep slopes, and traverses. They should avoid jerking and should never go fast. Everything that can be done to make the victim comfortable and warm will reduce pain, anxiety, and shock.
Four-ski improvised toboggan.—If a ready-made toboggan is not available, the improvised four-ski toboggan is best. Materials used in its construction are four
skis, a pair of ski poles, two braces 18-20 inches long, and 8—10 feet of cord or thongs. The skis are placed side by side on the snow. They must be staggered a little so that the projecting toe irons do not interfere with one another. If one pair of skis used is 3 or 4 inches shorter than the other, and the long and short skis are alternated, the toe irons may be staggered without bringing the ski tips out of line. This will facilitate tying the forward brace in place just behind the upturned points. The tying of this brace is also easier if small holes have been bored through the ski tips. These holes do not weaken or disfigure the skis. If a ski has been broken by the fall causing the injury, it can be repaired with a tip or contraction band and used in the toboggan.
The second brace is placed across the toboggan just ahead of the toe irons and is tied firmly to them. If saplings or squaw wood are not available for braces, a ski pole broken in two at the middle will furnish suitable pieces. The value of a good pair of ski poles is, however, not lowered by an injury to their owner, hence this should be done only as a last resort. If the patient can safely be allowed to sit up, the pack frame of a Bergans-type rucksack may be used for the rear brace. The sack itself serves as a backrest.
