With the abundance of snow, we received this past weekend, many college students are looking for ways to have fun in the snow. Because funds can be tight and a sled may not be in the budget, here are 10 items you can find around your dorm or apartment to use to engage in some sledding activities!

Baking Sheets

The duck seems awfully jealous of this sled option!

Chaela Minor

Even better - spray the bottom of the sheet with PAM cooking spray for a quick, slippery ride down the slopes!

A Laundry Basket

Go ahead and dump your dirty clothes out on the floor and head for the hills....you can always clean later!

A Scholarship Check

Chaela Minor

Thank you so much for your generous support, donor! Your monetary donation will definitely allow for an adventurous ride down Slater!

A Lunch Tray

Surely they won't miss one from the dining courts anyway, right?....

An Air Mattress

Ross Pearson

This group took "lay back and relax" to a whole new level...

A Dry Erase Calendar

That calendar you use in your apartment to keep track of your roommates' schedules? While it works well to keep tabs on everyone, it makes an even better sled. Luckily, you can still use your phone to keep track of your schedule.

A Bird?

Chaela Minor

Birds have recently taken over many college campuses. They offer a quick, easy way to get to class...but an even more joyous ride down a steep, snowy hill.

Garbage Can Lid

But, don't forget to take out the trash first.

Couch Cushions

That furnished apartment you're living in? Who knew it also offered up great resources for some fun in the snow.

A Tote Lid

Chaela Minor

No better way to utilize those empty totes than as a sled, anyway!

Comment below some other fun, household items you've used as sleds to share the wealth of ideas!
