The steering happens due to flexing the runners, just like on the old
American Flyer sleds, but more so, since the runners are probably two meters
long. If you want to turn right, pull on the right handle, push on the
left handle, stand on the inside runner, and you will either turn right or
spin out. Same idea on the other side. Gobs of fun, especially on the
Rideau Canal during Winterlude...

current sled just tracks a straight line. Good for going down hills, as with
a snowsled, but...
