They didn't incorporate retractable skis???

Didn't account for the sleigh body to operate in the turbulent reindeer wake either, unless everything behind Rudolf's nose is within a supersonic wake zone.

The deer are a special Kryptonian breed. They don't need protection from the wind.

Santa's sleigh

Too late. Santa's workshop sunk into the Arctic Ocean in the recent,near-blue-water event.
Santa,Mrs.Claus,et al. were all lost at sea.
The U.S.Chamber of Commerce lobbied the Pentagon's Naval Department not to release the information.
The event was captured on NASA imaging satellites,and verified by US NAVY submarine side-scan sonar.
