Whooshing down a snow-covered hill is one of the most fun ways to spend a winter day, but wouldn’t it be even more fun if you could actually control where you’re going? The SnowBoogie Fantom X solves that tiny little problem by adding handlebars to the traditional sledge. The fine sport of sledging has been [...]

When you’re young, sledding down an icy hill can be thrilling, even if you choose to go down sledless. Hitting bumps hard means extra bonus points, and there is no such thing as emergency trips to the chiropractor the next day. As you age though, sledding can be a lot more painful than it used to be. But that doesn’t [...]

The snow is falling, and we all know what that means: snowball fights! They’re way more fun if you’re battling people you actually know. I remember when my sisters and I were visiting family overseas and were suddenly pelted by a storm of snowballs from some rowdy kids in the neighborhood. Needless to say, we [...]

Two different scooters for the street and snow? That’s so old-school. Get with the times and save space with the Street and Snow Scooter that lets you conquer both terrains with just a few adjustments. I guess I could spend time telling you about the body of this little scooter, which includes an adjustable handlebar [...]

If you’re still a kid, then one of the highlights to winter (aside from the long break from school) is snow. Make snowballs and throw them at each other; use the cold, fluffy stuff to build a snowman along with the other neighborhood kids; and when you’re done, take a ride down some snowy slopes [...]

We don’t get any snow in the place where I’m from. Friends of mine from overseas have told me to just shave some ice off my freezer and form it into a ball to make a snowball, but it’s obviously just not the same. Imagine how stupid (and pointless) it would be to have to [...]
