Is It “Sledding” or “Sliding” in Southeast Minnesota?

Seeing as the Vikings are getting set to take on the Packers in Green Bay this Sunday, there's another border battle brewing here in southeast Minnesota that involves all this snow that just fell. 

Minnesota is somewhat known for its unique colloquialisms-- for using names pretty much no other geographic region uses in everyday speech. Take hot dish, for example. While we use that word here in Minnesota, elsewhere, it's referred to as a 'casserole.'

Same thing with the children's game Duck-Duck-Goose. Well, that's what it's called pretty much everywhere else. But here in Minnesota, it's Duck-Duck-Grey Duck.

So, seeing as I hail from Wisconsin, I've always said that when you or your kids grab a sled, toboggan, or saucer and fly down a snow-covered hill, you're going sledding. My wife, though, who's from here in Minnesota, says that's wrong-- you don't go "sledding," you go "sliding."

I contend that "sledding" is correct because if you take a pair of skates and head to the rink or frozen pond, what are you doing? That's right, you're going skating. Same thing with a sled, isn't it? If you use a sled to get down the hill, you've gone sledding. Sliding is the action the sled itself takes while you're heading down the hill.

But maybe that's just the Wisconsin in me. What say you? Is is "sledding" or "sliding"?
