Remember the winters when you were a child? You wold wake in the morning and dash to the windowwishing that snow had fallen. At first flake, you would behoping enough snow would fall. When mom and dad finally gave you the nod, you would race to bring out your sled.

Sledding is a winter sport that can be enjoyed by all ages. Racing down a hill together can bea family experience that will bring treasured memories, or you can enjoy sledding with a companion your own age. It's also fun for spectators who can enjoy the scenery and gaurd the hot chocolate.

Finding a good hll is of great importance. You want to make sure you have a good slope, but not too steep, and with no trees in your path. Thee should be a even covering of snow. The hill should be well away from streets.

 Before heading out, be sure you are dressed for the weather in warm, protective clothing and that you will be sledding in the daylight, not in the dark unless the course is well lit.

* Kids should wear a helmet and sled only when an adult is present

*stay away from frozen lakes and ponds where the ice may be unstable

*Don't sled headfirst. It increases the chance of head injury,

*NEVER have the sled ulled by a car. It;s a dangerous practice.

*Do not attempt to seld on plastic sheets. They are easily torn by obstructions  in the snow and can esult in injury.

remember by staying warm and sleding smart will make your day more enjoyable,
