So, we pretty much lucked out and chose a townhome within super quick walking distance from an elementary school that is home to a completely fantastic sledding hill. It’s just a little steep and really long and smooth and everything you could want in a sledding hill…except the climb back up – that sucks – but other than that, it’s perfect! Build in a ramp or two and you’ve got yourself an epic afternoon of sledding. Which is exactly what we did Sunday afternoon. With about half a foot or so of thick, plush snow on the ground and more snow lightly falling from the sky, we grabbed our sleds, bundled up in winter gear, and hit the slope. And, oh, was it fun! I can’t believe I missed out on all of this sledding fun as a child! You can sit and go forward, lie on your tummy and fly down face first, get a big push from your hubby for an extra fast trip, run and dive into your sled as it begins to make its way downhill, and even sit backwards if you’re feeling daring. But seriously, while we still love all the great sledding ramps and hills that we discovered last winter at Mendon Ponds Park, this hill is awesome because its practically next door and its so long, which means you get a great sled ride in before you have to wearily haul yourself out-of-shape self and your sled back up that long, snowy hill – calves burning all the way.

I’m actually hoping for more snow this month and in March so we can get more sled runs in on the hills before the season is over.

Anyone want to come with us? Hot cocoa and pizza at our place afterward?
