tobogganing

Downhill snow ride

Tobogganing is the activity of riding a toboggan—a long, flat-bottomed sled without runners—down snow-covered slopes.

The sport ranges from casual recreation to competitive racing on specially constructed chutes: We went tobogganing in the park after the first big snowfall.
