It may be smooth but I think he messed up with the perfectly round design. The curve in the front is much more steeper than the curve in the back. I would call it more of an egg shape.
The Count is having warm fuzzy thoughts about Rodney playing in the snow with Calvin and Hobbes and their toboggan in the first strip. And, yes, it sounds like great fun!
I remember when Flying Saucer Sleds came out. Worked better in less snow, but were less steerable than a toboggan. (on the other hand, ½ the time you revolved before you hit anything, so you didn’t see it coming.)

Now he just needs some non-chloric, silicon-based kitchen lubricant.

Either come back with your shield or on it !

There are many types of shields, as in the Scutum for the Roman Legions and the kite shield of the Normans. Would this be the famous Snow Shield?

Hope the shield is thick enough to protect Rod’s behind!

I preferred the steerable runner sled. Face first into danger, pretending I could really steer.

Whatever floats your boat… or slides your sled.

With any luck at all, the enemy is on the uphill side.

Rod wasn’t concerned about enemies it was only a manly excuse to get the blacksmith to make his a sled

Rodney knew he paid too much for the shield, but, given the alternate use it was good for, he decided to let it slide.

My brother and I used to tow them with our snowmobiles, it was a blast!
