The 20th Annual US National Toboggan Championships glorified the spectacle of winter sports, but required a certain attitude.

It was a little bit Mardi Gras.

And a little bit fierce competition.

With a whoopie pie thrown in to boot.

The pageantry was awe inspiring.

Security was tight.

And the right equipment provided the edge to win.

Team spirit was everywhere, but here are the - – - -> winners.

(Will post more soon.)

So what if Florida has the Super Bowl! We have  our own national sports spectacle – - The National Toboggan Championships, held at the Camden Snow Bowl, February 5-7, 2010!

A mix between Carnival or Mardi Gras, and the Winter Olympics, this event is an example of what happens in Maine when the temperatures get lower and the days get shorter. Winter alters our brain cells and fun breaks out.

If you haven’t been before, here’s your chance. The best part is that anyone can enter!
