Obviously can't ride in San Francisco, but we're just a 3 hour drive from the hills. I make it out there every other week in summer, I will be doing the same in winter now.
Just bought my first sled: 2011 Polaris Pro RMK 800 - bone stock, 300 miles on it

Welcome.
I never saw a sled secured quite that way before. I have two of those, and a 2013 on the way. Here on Snowest under Performance and Modifications click on Polaris Pro Ride for questions on your sled.:face-icon-small-coo

Right on, my brother lives in Oakland.
I would tie that thing different, that is going to destroy your steering post bushings and work your tunnel pretty hard, those Pro tunnels are a little flimsy there anyway. Bumpy roads are gonna try to tear it up.

Thanks for the tips guys. I tied it up that way because I couldn't get a hand on ski bars in time so I did my best with what I got.

Looks moto-ey. Lol. A-arm strapped to the front of trailer and strap from rear of trailer to a suspension arms works. They don't like to move much, I haven't strapped a sled down in two years and they don't move. (In an enclosed trailer.) Bumpers down works ok, but sleds are so long now that they overhang trailers, lol.

Yeah, I did a pretty ****ty tie down job.
But it still looks less sketchy than last time I had a sled in my Frontier:
