Overtime I see someone sledding on the hill on campus it is never actually on a sled. On a college budget it is hard to find extra cash to blow on a sled that will essentially take up room you don't have in you dorm. So here, inspired by what I have seen used before, is a lost of alternatives to buying a sled when you want to go sledding.

1. A plastic bin lid

We all have at least one of these overflowing with random stuff.

2. A housing cart

You probably know someone who stole one at the beginning of the year.

3. A cafeteria tray

Target is literally selling these as real sleds.

4. Trash can lid

Compared to some of the other garbage you could use, this one might be the best.

5. Cardboard

Finally a use for all of the Amazon boxes sitting in your closet.

6. Tupperware

You need like the King Kong of Tupperware to make this work, but I feel like it could happen.

7. Kiddie pool

Repurpose it later on to have a backyard beach party.

8. Folding table

And after you finish sledding set it up with some hot cocoa.

9. An old tire

Who needs to sled when you can roll.

10. A textbook

Probably the most use you'll get out of it.

11. A pizza box

A good excuse to get pizza for lunch!

12. A mattress

It might get a little wet, but hey that's okay.

13. A trash can

Not sure how well this will work but if someone has the lid might as well try the rest of it.

14. A pool float

Probably the best option on this list (and the best for pics).

15. A door

Loosen a few screws and its ready to go.

So maybe some of these ideas might not really work, but hey it's worth a shot. Enjoy your next snow day and if you don't want to drop some case on a sled enjoy these ideas!
