Endless winter

Just in time for the holidays, Hammacher Schlemmer (that's a mouthful) is introducing the year round sled called The Slicer. In the words of HS:

Similar in concept to the informal, fair-weather competitive pastime of ice blocking where one rides a frozen block of ice down a hill, two plastic ice molds that attach to the bottom of the sled are removed, filled with water, and frozen in a standard refrigerator freezer. When re-attached to the bottom of the sled, they reduce the friction between the ground and the sled (especially on hotter days that encourage melting) for a half-hour of snowless summer sliding. Best when used on short grass. In the winter with the molds removed, its smooth yet durable high-density polyethylene shell and runners provides exhilarating rides down snow and ice-covered hills.

Whatever. This dudes sweet helmet is NOT included.
