When we visited Meridian Hill Park over the weekend, we heard about the use of an air mattress as a sled and witnessed a beer sign take a man down a set of stairs.
But those unlikely toboggans lacked special modifications to help their riders descend the park’s inclines. No one at the time thought to use duct tape to attach skis to the bottom of an ironing board, for example.
Then this man came to the park with the “Jonas Broboggan 3” Sunday.
By far the best thing I have seen used as a sled so far in DC: skis duct-taped to an ironing board. pic.twitter.com/Uh6TzZv74A

Here’s that sled in action. Yes, it’s made of an ironing board, skis, and duct tape. And, yes, those are stairs: pic.twitter.com/8myzXPp3Ye

The weekend also brought out other skiers, too.
