About Paricon
Paricon is a family-owned and -operated business that began manufacturing sleds in 1861 in South Paris, Maine. Henry Morton and his wife Lucilla began constructing and decorating sleds by hand in their home. The company grew throughout the early 1900s. What was then called Paris Manufacturing (the forerunner to Paricon) supplied the sledges for the Admiral Peary Expedition to the North Pole and a follow-up expedition by Donald MacMillan in 1914. The company's long history in the sled-making business continues today with its commitment to quality craftsmanship as its offers an array of sleds, snowboards, sliders, inflatable tubes, and tobaggans for wintertime fun.

Lug Factor
An important aspect to consider when shopping for the right sled, lug factor refers to the amount of effort required to lug the sled back to the top of the hill for the next ride.
Easy
These sleds have a negligible weight and are easily pulled behind the rider on the journey to the top.
Moderate
Sleds with moderate lug factor are middleweight sleds that require some light effort to pull or carry up the hill.
Heavy
Heavy lug factor means the sled will require some effort to be pulled up the hill. Parents or supervisors of younger sledders should be prepared to assist with lugging these sleds after a few rides.
Control Level
Control level refers to a sled's steering and braking capabilities. Some sleds have none, one, or both. Though virtually all sleds can be controlled by shifting the body's weight from side to side, steering and breaking mechanisms offer greater control and safety.
Low
Low-control sleds offer a fun, freewheeling ride with little or no steering mechanism. These sleds are intended for use in open areas free from obstacles like trees and fences.
Medium
Medium-control sleds offer steering and/or braking mechanisms that give the rider some control over directional movement and speed. These sleds are great for backyards and city parks.
High
Sleds with high control levels feature sophisticated steering and/or braking mechanisms for precise direction and speed control. These sleds are ideal for high-traffic terrain or hills with obstacles.
