sleigh

Dictionary of American Words And Phrases by John Russell Bartlett.

A vehicle moved on runners, and greatly used in America for transporting persons or goods on snow or ice.--Webster. In England it is called a sledge. During the winter of 1844, after a fall of snow in London, an English newspaper observed that "the Queen was making preparations for sledge-driving," which in America few would understand to mean, that Her Majesty was about taking a sleigh-ride.
