With all of this talk about how great tobogganing is, some people may be wondering what tobogganing actually is. Well to answer this question tobogganing is the act of sledding down a hill or slope. Toboggans are a bit different that regular sleds or skis however. They are different because there are no skis or runs on the bottom. The bottom of a toboggan rests on the ground. In some cases, places will have designated run areas where only toboggans can go. These runs can be compared to bobsleigh courses. They are a bit more packed down and closer to ice than snow.
Toboggans actually have more than one use. People have used toboggans for many different things for a very long time. They can be used for work purposes as well as recreational activities and they can also be used for means of transportation.
