toboggan run

Icy downhill track

A toboggan run is a prepared course or chute for tobogganing, typically built on a slope with banked curves and smooth surfaces to allow sleds to reach high speeds.

Some are natural hillside tracks; others are engineered structures of wood or ice: The resort maintains a mile-long toboggan run through the pines.
