Remember this!
Ski and sled are both winter activities that involve sliding or gliding on snow. However, the difference between ski and sled is the equipment required, position, speed, control, and terrain. Skiing requires specialized equipment, is done in an upright position, can be faster and more thrilling, requires more skill and control, and is typically done on slopes or mountains. Sledding, on the other hand, only requires a sled, is done in a seated or lying position, is generally slower and less challenging, and can be done on hills or even flat surfaces.
