Free Snow Fun for the Family
We know that people want to get as much out of their dollar as possible. With that in mind, where can you take the family for some wintery fun for little or no cost? How about sledding? There are so many great sledding hills available to the public in different areas of the state which cater to family fun. Whether you want big hills, little slopes, groomed tracks or freestyle tubing, there are a lot of good hills to enjoy. There are some basic rules to sledding, and safety is a big concern but as long as you dress warmly, arrive safely, drink plenty of water so you don’t get dehydrated (yes, you get dehydrated in winter too) the most important thing is to HAVE FUN!!!
