Toboggan is an outdoor activity where individuals ride a simple sled on snow down a hill or other slope. They differ from other sleds in that they do not use runners or skis and instead rest directly on the snow. Traditional toboggans are made of bound wooden slats curved at the front to form a sideways “J” shape. Modern recreational toboggans are constructed of either wood or aluminum, while more rugged models, mainly used in transport and rescue, are made of fiberglass. Some toboggans used by ski patrols are outfitted with handles that extend from the front.
