There aren't too many things better than a snow day, except maybe being able to go sledding without a sled.

Luckily for river otters, their slick bellies are perfectly suited for such a feat, as one critter at the Minnesota Zoo used some fresh snowfall to demonstrate Wednesday morning.

The little guy clearly got quite a kick out of his discovery, sliding down the small hill and pouncing back up through the snow to do it all over again, even pausing to shoot a quick look at the camera.

Okay, you caught us, river otter--we're definitely a little envious of your sledding abilities.
