The Dream Toboggan

With approximately two days of snow a year (and that rarely over a couple of inches), no-one would suggest that inhabitants of my home town purchase a long-lasting, beautifully crafted, not inconsiderably-priced sledge - after all, this baby'd be stuck in the shed for 363 days a year, at least.

But here's the clever bit: this sledge is collapsible (within three seconds, it claims). Thus it can be stowed in car boots and on aeroplanes, accompanying you and your family in your quest for snow, be that in the Swiss Alps, or - should you be more (geographically-speaking) advantageously positioned for snow than we are - just down the road. Suddenly, it all makes sense.
