Last winter my wife and I took our daughter sledding at a nearby hill. There were a bunch of other kids and parents with, as usual, a variety of things used to ride on.
One of the fastest "sleds" was a mildly curved fibreglass oval, just the right size for an adult or a couple of kids to sit on. It was a Futuro window, from the factory that made them! More precisely, I think it was part of a mold for a window, since the inner surface was pretty rough, and as I said it was fibreglass. So while the Futuro never took off as a ski lodge, or otherwise, it's at least good for getting downhill in a hurry.
- GuiA 7y agoIs there a cool story around how the person came to own such a thing?
- rebuilder 7y agoThe factory that manufactured the elements back in the day was apparently somewhere nearby, and if you know people in manufacturing, some of them are the type to never throw anything away...
