sledders

Downhill snow riders

Sledders are people who ride sleds, typically down snowy hills for recreation.

The term appears most often in winter contexts—ski resorts posting conditions, news reports of sledding accidents, or parents watching children: The hill was crowded with sledders after the first snowfall.
