‘Yuengling Medflight’
Author: Amanda
For the last weekend of the ski season at Mad River Mountain, there was a cardboard sled-building event. All entry creations could only be made with cardboard, paint, zip ties, and duct tape, with the exception of sled decorations. With the Yuengling brewing company as a sponsor, there were chances of a few cash prizes to be won. So the team of ‘Yuengling Medflight’ (comprised with members of the Mad River Mountain Ski Patrol, and a few of our staff as well) decided to go the extra mile and place decal lettering on their ‘vehicle’.
While the Yuenling Medflight didn’t win any prizes in the race, the team agrees it was extremely fun to build. View a picture of the creation on our Facebook page at: http://www.facebook.com/NextDaySignsColumbus
I saw that picture on facebook and thought, how cool, NDS is doing a promo for Yuengling. After looking closer and reading more about the event, I would like to know if this sled actually went down the hill. I’m “guessing” cardboard is a sufficient sled, but it has been a looooonnngggg time since I’ve done any non-sled sledding.
Yes, it did. The key, as I hear it, is duct tape. The more duct tape you had on the bottom of your sled, the father it slid.
