sleds
Vehicles with runners
Sleds are vehicles designed to slide over snow or ice, typically with runners or a smooth bottom.
Children ride sleds downhill for fun; dogs or horses pull sleds to transport goods across frozen terrain.
To sled is to ride one: We went sledding after the first big snowfall.
In American slang, sleds can mean snowmobiles.
