I thought you were kidding when you started this post.   Way cool.   Man I’d have fun with that, much easier to haul photo gear than sled.
When I was younger I used to haul my sleds over the pass every weekend on an open deck trailer. Ice storms would coat the covers in a blanket of ice. Had to fight the buckles to get them undone, then haul Rubbermaid tubs and coolers on my lap up to cabin in multiple trips.

Got older and bought an enclosed trailer to haul sleds. No more frozen covers to fight and a nice place to put on and take off snow gear. Also bought a tow behind trailer for the sleds to get it all in one trip versus three with it on my lap.

Then seeing at night in the snow/rain on the pass got tough so I bought a container to store sleds in on east side of the mountain so I didn’t have to tow a trailer in the dark.

Most recent upgrade was the snocat to just drive up in comfort. Only have to where snow boots, no helmet, no snow gear. I can fit the dog and family inside all the gear in the cargo box.

The older I get the more I want to make life easier.

Helo’s really aren’t that expensive to buy, it’s the maintenance, parts, and fuel that’ll get you.
