snow saucer

Before he got on that snow saucer, an upturned disk built for speed, Mr. Larsen was best known for things big — indeed, he did everything big.

Mary Arnold Toys, at 962 Lexington Avenue near 70th Street, was selling old-fashioned Flexible Flyers, snow saucers and "snowboggans" to throngs eager to pay up to $80 for a steel-runner sled.

Erin Connery and Ben Siek from Holderness, N.H., Mr. Siek's skis having broken the week before, repeatedly climbed up the center gully and careered down the hill on a pink plastic toboggan and a neon green snow saucer.
