Yep. In the past I've gone with the 'ol cheap plastic kiddie sled from Ace Hardware. I'd get the longer/narrow straight one. Don't get one of those wacky extrem-o funny shaped ones. Next, buy some plastic or plexi glass (about the size of wax scrapers), cut a slight angle on one side, drill some holes in them and coresponding holes in the sled, and mount them to each side of the sled towards the back as to operate as mini fins. This will keep the sled behind you and not going sideways as much on a cross-hill traverse. How tall you want them is up to you. The more weight, the deeper you want them to cut. Then if you want to, you can get a cheap cargo net and make fasteners to the sled so you can pack shit in it and keep it all together. You can actually turn a cheap sled into a nice cargo hauler for pretty cheap.
Edit: Use wingnuts to fasten the fins so you can take them off easily if you are gonna go on a long strech of groomed/hardpack flat trail or a road.
