toboggan
Runnerless winter sled
A toboggan is a long, flat-bottomed sled without runners, traditionally made of thin boards curved up at the front.
Used for sliding downhill over snow or ice: The kids took the toboggan to the steepest hill in the park.
In some American dialects, toboggan also means a knit winter cap—the kind you'd wear while sledding.
