Over flat land maybe but coming down off a ridge through blow downs and steep grades wheels are no match. There so many trees and stuff sticking out to get in the spokes, rocks and ruts to twist the wheels up. I don't see how one could ever come out in onepiece unless it was carried. A sled can go over and under it all regardless of weather there is snow or not.Once down to a level grade with little to deal with they would be fine, but I like the wagon for that.
