I am sure there are a plethora of water skis not being used right now. Perhaps you can borrow some.

If you really want to get bold, tie a rope to Jane's back bumper and have her pull you, .

One heck of an idea! Be sure someone records the first run. (There may not be a second!)

Probably way outside my budget for fun and I'd have to move to do it......I live in a strict NO FLY zone.

That is neat. They get really creative with their builds.

When I was a kid, I lived on a hill. We did use cardboard to slide down the hill but we did it in August after the grass was brown and dead. It was good fun and all the kids in the neighborhood would spend all weekend sliding down the hill, walking back up and repeating for hours.

The sled, steel rails on an iced farm lane, a curved roadway down a treed ravine's side, death defying velocities, headfirst, around the hairpin, dragging your toes to steer, real thrills, when the snowpack was iced on top, we could make it to the riverbank, 150 yards.
We would climb back to the top, 300', all afternoon, until the Sun set before 6pm, - 10° C, walk home a mile, the UFOs in tow, exhausted.

The slope is correctly depicted, down the side of the ravine of the river, 40 mph !

We again, missed our chance for snow and ice..
But it's snowing now, back at my old place in East Texas, in the city of Houston and on the upper Texas coast.
