Pulka

A Pulka (Swedish) / Pulk (Norwegian) / Pulkka (Finnish), from Sami language "bulke", is a Scandinavian short, low-slung small toboggan used in sport or for transport, pulled by a dog or a skier. The sled can be used to carry supplies such as a tent or food, or transport a child or other person. In Norway, pulks are often used by families with small children on skiing trips (small children being pulled by the parents).
