Tips for a great sledding day:

• Dress warmly in layers – it’s easier to take off clothes if you get too warm than to spend the day freezing.
• Wear a helmet, especially for children and when sledding at higher speeds.
• Bring something warm to drink and maybe a little snack – it makes the experience even better.
• Take care of one another! Keep a safe distance on the hill and take turns when sledding.
