I want to put a set of snow skies on my sled and I have no idea how high to put the sled above the skies.I don`t want it to high that it becomes likely to tip but high enought it doesn`t push a lot of snow.Any of you guys have one built like this that works good?

Yep, I got one I built and they are an awesome sled. Google Smitty Sled and get the idea and build one to fit your needs.
