New Product SnoStorm Vipernex 50-Inch Snow Sled

The scoop

Winter is coming and Costco just rolled out a fun way to get the kids (or yourself) outside: the SnoStorm Vipernex 50-Inch Snow Sled.

This is a foam sled with a slick bottom designed for speed, a tow rope for easy hauling back up the hill, and four molded handles so riders have something to grip on the way down. At 50 inches long, it is built to handle one or two riders at a time.

Foam sleds like this tend to be a nice step up from thin plastic saucers since they offer a bit more structure and durability. The molded handles should make it easier for kids to hold on tight, and the tow rope is a small but appreciated touch for parents dragging sleds across a parking lot or up a hill.

If you’re looking for an easy way to keep the family entertained once the snow starts falling, the SnoStorm Vipernex 50-Inch Snow Sled looks like a solid, no-fuss pick for this winter.
