I know I am new to this but I got a great idea for you on your trailer. I love to build stuff and this is an easy builder. If you want a drive on trailer but like the price of a tilt bed, then look on ebay for these plastic rails for the skis. They are something like 3 feet long and you get 8 of them. They install very easily with just some small screws. The next thing is take a piece of oak board. Use oak for strength, not pine, etc... Cut them into 2 wide, 1 inch tall, and 12" long. Place them about 5" apart from each other, between the ski rails that you just installed. Now what you can do, is tilt down the bed. While sitting on your ski, get just a small, very small running start, slide you skis up on the rails and with the momentum of the ski, the skies will slide up the rails while the track grips the oak traction bars that you mounted between the ski sliders. I have seen people do this before and it is slick as sh*t!! Let me know what you think. If you do not understand what I mean, just reply back. I will post a picture. Scott
