This show is part of our series on "Passions & Pastimes."
Toboggans can be just for wintertime fun—or for competitive racing. As the 33rd U.S. National Toboggan Championships are about to kick off at the Camden Snow Bowl, we talk with toboggan experts about what goes into riding and racing, what role Maine has played in this sport, and what goes into crafting a toboggan.

Holly Anderson, assistant director, Camden Snow Bowl; chairwoman, organizing committee, U.S. National Toboggan Championships
