You just need to slean up your axles and get some grease on them. The platic wheels just spin on the metal axles. With all of the spacers and washers under there you probrably got some water between things and it just started corrodeing over the off season. I take mine apart before storage,clean things up and then apply cheap grease liberally. It will probrably work for you

While those bogeys can get sticky and slow things down, I doubt they would completely stop the sled while it is being ridden. Check them, but also look for:
-binding in the chain, perhaps around the tensioner
-seized berring on the drive axle
-ice or debris in or above the track
Tha last one is likely, as there is not a lot of room between the bulkhead (front of the tunnel) and the tip of the track lugs where it rolls over the drive axle. Try turning the track backwards by hand and see if it frees up.
