   Sledding, sledging or sleighing is a winter sport typically carried out in a prone or seated position on a vehicle generically known as a sled (North American), a sledge (British), or a sleigh. It is the basis of three Olympic sports: luge, skeleton and bobsledding. When practised on sand, it is known as a form of sandboarding. In Russia sledges are used for maritime activities including fishing and commuting from island to island on ice.

   Sledding is a recreational activity, typically done during winter, where an individual, known as a sledder, rides down a snow-coated hill or slope on a sled. The sled, often made of plastic, metal or wood, allows for a smooth and swift ride over the snow. Sledding can be done for leisure or in a more competitive context, like in sports such as luge or bobsledding.

1. Sledding

   Sledding, sleding or tobogganing is a common activity in North America and wintry areas, similar to sliding, but in a prone or seated position requiring a device or vehicle generically known in the US and Canada as a sled or in other countries as a sledge or toboggan. More formally it is one of three olympic sports— the luge, skeleton, or bobsledding, all of which are based on sled principles and developed in the same time and place by much the same circle of people, mainly English tourists with an interested assist from the worthy craftsmen of that Swiss village.
