I had to google it. Toboggan is from the Innu and Cree tribes and was originally made of whale bone.

The hat is a toboggan around here. The sled is a sled.

Those are called toboggans where I grew up on the East coast. Sleds had metal runners we'd soap up and sand smooth to be faster than the others lol. Mine was a 1950's model that was super weathered but it would probably be worth a ton at an antique store now. Why is all my stuff antique now? It's like I'm aging or somethingI must have had 6 SnoCraft tobbogan sleds over the years, 4', 6', 8ft.
I used to put the kids and dog on, then push mom off into the snow halfway down.

Those were fun but our sledding hill had a bunch of trees you had to steer to avoid. We called those death dish's as you were pretty much a tree magnet in one. My dad had one for our dog to tow us around on the street out front. Great memories.Remeber the Flying Saucers? They were super thick aluminum, still beat the shit out of em.

School cafeteria lunch trays were popular as free sleds in DC. In the city people would grab the back of the transit buses and ride them like early snow boards. By the time I got my sled it had been through about 6 of my cousins, just like most of my clothes. Both of my parents grew up in the Great Depression and everything got handed down to the younger kids. Bikes, clothes, toys and later on even cars. It's just how they grew up.

But a sled has steel runners. Faster than a wooden toboggan, at least when you're 10 years old!

I had one of those. Mine was lime green and white. They were awesome, but pulling them up the hill was a Herculean task.
