About Paricon
Paricon has had a long and colorful history in the sled-making business, starting in 1861 with the founding of a family business, Paris Manufacturing, in South Paris, Maine, by the great grandfather of current CEO, Hank Morton. From then through today, and into the future, the story unfolds.It all started, in 1861, when Henry Morton married Lucilla Forbes and the young couple started making sleds in their home. Henry constructed the sleds by hand and his wife decorated them. Their son, Will, an accomplished artist, distinguished himself as a sled painter, specializing in water scenes and scrolls. Hand-decorated sleds today are much sought after by collectors, but the originals were probably meant to ensure that each sled would be a child's prized possession.
During the early 1900s, when each sled was made by hand, the company employed close to 300 workers. It continued in operation as a family business, still employing 200 workers, until the family gave up ownership in 1970s and sold to Gladding Corporation. In 1978, Hank Morton, great-grandson of the founder, headed a group of investors that purchased the company back from Gladding.
Today, Hank and his sons, Ted and Tom, are continuing the family tradition in the sled business with Paricon. The sled line has evolved to include a wide assortment of products for winter use sleds, including steel runner and plastic models at various price points; snowboards; foam sliders; inflatable tubes; wooden toboggans and snow toys. Paricon serves customers throughout the U.S. from its distribution center in South Paris with high-quality products and on-time delivery.

-SPEED-
Yes, these sleds are fast! Almost too fast. I love them fast but one time when I put my 3 yo son on a small slope, he went way faster and farther than I expected, barely missed a tree, and went through the slats of a wooden fence (I know, I was a top candidate for Dad-of-the-Year)! Lesson learned. Definitely too fast for my little ones to use alone so I have to ride with them.
-FUNCTION-
They work well on different types of snow. Since the bottom is flat (unlike the tracks used by traditional sleds), even deep snow is no match for this. The only gripe, and it's a small one, is that you feel every unsmooth snow patch of imperfection on your rear end.
-DURABILITY-
Seems durable enough but I've only used them for one season so far. I'll update this review if any cracks appear over time.
-BRING-BACK-UP-THE-HILL FACTOR-
These are obviously lighter than the old school wooden sleds. Although they fit under my arm, it's much easier to just pull them behind you. Since they are so light, the bonus is that you can even pull your kid back up the hill as well. It would have been nice if ropes were included for each sled so I didn't have to borrow one from another sled.
-VALUE-
Good price for three sleds (~$12 each). I would be slightly annoyed if I only have one child but I actually need multiple sleds.
This winter will be our third year using these sleds, and they work great. None of them have broken so far despite our kids using them in the yard when there's no snow. The kids love sledding with them. They fit an adult plus a kid, slightly squishy, but fun all the same. They wipe out easily and have crazy steering capabilities.
