I got responses, yahooo! Ok, so if you got 6 adults on an 8 footer, I should be good with a 5 footer, yes?
I am a good skier.... so why would I want a toboggan, you ask? Because it's fun for the little ones. Plus, we are moving to the very flat part of [northern] Germany, so while there will be snow, the hills are wimpy and the best we can do is sled for winter fun. I really want a classic WOODEN toboggan like I had as a kid, and generally they are made in Canada. Not sure what kind of plastic junk they are selling in Germany.
thanks guys and happy VDay!
