Pulk

A pulk (from Sami languages: puhlke, via Finnish: pulkka; Swedish: pulka; Norwegian: pulk; Northern Sami: bulki) is a Nordic short, low-slung small sled used in sport or for transport, pulled by a dog or a skier, or in Sápmi pulled by reindeer.

Pulks are originally meant to carry supplies such as a tent or food, or transport a child or other person.

In Norway and Sweden, pulks are often used by parents to pull small children on skiing trips.

In Finland and Sweden, pulks exist as a winter toy, mainly for children, for going downhill.

This word is also used by the US Army for a human-drawn snow sled.
