Snow Sled Games in Your Very Own Backyard
Kicking it at home this winter? No problem — your backyard is about to become the ultimate snow day playground. With a little creativity and your Retro Snowmobile Snow Sled, you can turn an ordinary snow day into an unforgettable adventure for the whole family.
Here’s how to level up your backyard sledding game:
Sled Races
Channel your inner speedster and set up a mini course for some friendly competition. Create lanes using snow markers or small cones, and see who can make it to the finish line first. Bonus points for creative sledding styles or hilarious wipeouts.
Snowman Bowling
Roll up a few snowmen as “pins” and turn your sled into a strike machine. Load up, slide straight, and knock them down. This game is as fun to play as it is to watch — especially when someone ends up with a snowman faceplant.
Marshmallow Run
Grab some marshmallows (the jumbo kind) and turn your sled into a delivery vehicle. The goal? Get as many marshmallows from one end of the yard to the other without spilling. This one’s great for kids — or anyone who loves a good marshmallow snack break.
Obstacle Course Challenge
Add some twists and turns to your sledding path with backyard obstacles like snow mounds, small ramps, or tunnels. It’s the perfect way to test your sled skills and turn your backyard into a snow adventure zone.
Tips To Keep Your Snowmobile Sled in Tip-Top Shape
A little care goes a long way to make sure your Snowmobile Snow Sled is always ready for action.
Here’s how to keep it in peak condition:
- Store It Right:Deflate your sled and store it in a cool, dry spot when it’s not in use. Keep it out of direct sunlight to avoid unnecessary wear and tear. Bonus: It folds down small enough to fit in a tote or storage bin.
- Clean After Use:Give your sled a quick wipe-down after each session, especially if it’s picked up dirt or snow debris. Use a damp cloth and mild soap — no harsh cleaners needed. This keeps it looking fresh and Instagram-ready.
- Watch for Wear and Tear: Inspect your sled for any small punctures or weak spots. FUNBOY sleds are made with ultra-thick vinyl, but if you spot something, grab a repair kit to fix it up fast.
- Use the Right Pump: Make setup a breeze with an Electric Air Pump. Our sled inflates in under three minutes, so you’ll be on the slopes faster than you can say hot chocolate.
- Keep It Accessible:Planning a holiday trip or backyard snow day? Pack your sled along with your winter essentials — coffee mugs, a water bottle, our Inflatable Shotski, and even a cozy lounge set for après-sled relaxation.
Treat your sled right, and it’ll have your back for endless snow days and holiday fun. Whether you’re hitting the hills or hanging at home, your sled is ready whenever you are.
