toboggans

Flat winter sleds

Toboggans are long, flat-bottomed sleds without runners, designed for sliding downhill over snow or ice.

The front curves upward to glide over obstacles.

Multiple riders typically sit in a line: We piled onto the toboggan and flew down the hill.

In some Southern U.S. dialects, a toboggan is a knit winter cap—the kind you'd wear while sledding.
