Thank you to all of the racers and spectators who turned out for the 2025 U.S. National Toboggan Championships this weekend, (Jan 31, Feb 1 & 2), our 34th annual event. We owe a debt of gratitude to the dozens of volunteers who worked behind the scenes and braved the cold weather this weekend to pull off a spectacular (and safe) Championships. There is much to be celebrated, especially for the 16 determined and lucky teams who now proudly possess one-of-a-kind handmade trophies and all the bragging rights that go with being official Toboggan National Champions!

Congratulations to all of the winners listed below, and mark your calendars for Feb. 6-8, 2026, when the 35th annual U.S. National Toboggan Championships will be held along with another Worlds race for all past first place 4-Person teams.

From all of the committee members - the TOB SQUAD - we wish you safe travels home and look forward to seeing you again next year!

Holly (mayor of Tobogganville) and Stuart (chutemaster)

Beware of the Scam Facebook Page!

A fake U.S. National Toboggan Championships page has been created on Facebook. Please do not engage with this page. It is a scam. It has been reported to Meta. The U.S. National Toboggan Championships does not have a presence on Facebook because of persistent trolls.

The ONLY official live streaming site for our event this year was StreamState.tv. Beware of imposters. Don't fall for a scam. Don't buy anything or provide personal information. It stinks to even have to say any of this, but here we are.

Once again, thank you for the tremendous job by you and your staff and everyone who helped make the event very well run and enjoyable. I know it's a ton of work. We are looking forward to next year. — John A.

I wanted to tell you my wife and I had a great time last weekend. Your group did a great job. I do not remember for sure when we started coming up, I know it was at least in 2012. (Still have the shirt from that year.) The people were great and the place was very organized. Good Time. — Barry U.

I just wanted to drop a line and say thank you again for all of the work that went in to planning and executing the Toboggan Championships this year, and thank you for including Hunt + Alpine for a second year running! Our team had a blast (several were new to the races) and it was great seeing lots of familiar faces from last year and meeting so many new ones. We're already discussing and planning for next year and look forward to joining! — Andrew V.

I’m really delighted that the Toboggan Championships were such an epic success. Congratulations to you and your Team. My barber and spouse took their two young children on Saturday and, “Had a fantastic time!” Your mountain crew kept their focus on the hill, because the conditions yesterday were absolutely fantastic! It was a primo, bluebird day! — Eric H.
