sled
This term evokes a sense of winter recreation or rugged survival in arctic climates. While it often suggests a playful, downhill activity for children, it also carries a connotation of heavy-duty transport in wilderness contexts where wheels are impractical.
As a verb, the word shifts between a leisure activity and a functional task. The intransitive use focuses on the thrill of the descent, whereas the transitive use emphasizes the labor of hauling cargo across a frozen landscape.
