Cost None (Free)
Environment Outdoor

Climb a snowy slope, hop on a sled, and slide down for a rush of speed and laughter — sledding is a simple, low-cost winter thrill that works for toddlers and adults alike on any hill with fresh snow.

The Essentials

  • Any hill with a smooth, obstacle-free run-out works — check for rocks, trees, fences, or roads at the bottom before sliding.
  • Steer by shifting your body weight or dragging a foot, since most sleds don't have brakes — leave space between riders and stop well clear of the bottom.
  • Wear waterproof, layered clothing and gloves, since falls and slush are part of the fun and you'll get wet fast without them.
  • Plastic saucer and toboggan sleds work on packed or icy snow; foam sleds grip better on soft powder but are slower.
  • Younger kids should ride with an adult or on a low, gentle slope first, and always sit facing forward rather than lying head-first.
  • Public parks and golf courses often allow sledding on their slopes in winter — check local rules, since some hills are off-limits for safety.
