toboggan slide

Icy downhill track

A toboggan slide is a prepared chute or track designed for riding toboggans—long, flat-bottomed sleds without runners.

These structures range from simple snow-packed hills to elaborate wooden or ice-covered runs at winter resorts: The kids spent all afternoon on the toboggan slide.

The term sometimes refers loosely to any steep snow slope used for sledding.
