No air mattresses, waterbeds, or box springs. You may bring a tarp or something flat and slippery to slide on, but no skis or anything that will elevate your mattress. There is a 4-person maximum riding the sled. HELMETS ARE REQUIRED. There are prizes for the best, most uniquely-decorated mattress. And of course the fastest mattress. This year's theme is “The Golden Era." Rewind the clock to the ski days of yesteryear with your favorite retro onesie, your father's straight skis, and test your luck on the hill!
