My dad is a plumber. He used to spend all morning in the garage at the first sign of snow soldering a sledge together from an old door and some copper pipe. If we were lucky and the snow hadn't melted before he finished, when we finally got it on to the snow it would sink into the snow within 3 feet, the runners would catch on the grass underneath and send us ar5e over tit down the hill with a half a ton of copper and wood barreling after us. It was like something from the Roadrunner with one of Wile E Coyote's contraptions. One year we turned it upside down and it worked much better but my dad was a bit miffed.
