A single runner sled having an elongated runner having a straight medial portion curving upwardly at both the front and rear ends and curving upwardly along the sides of the runner so that shifting the weight of the user from side to side on the pedestal supported seat controls the direction of travel of the runner, the rear end of the runner being curved upwardly higher than the front end of the runner and the seat being located near the rear end so that the unit may be rocked back on the rear end when controlling the speed of travel of the sled by engagement of the feet of the user with the snow over which the sled is traveling. A reinforcing or rubbing strip may be mounted along the flat portion of the bottom of the runner.
