Sledding
Our neighbors have a gentle hill on their property, and they went out after the snowstorm and built a sled run down the hill. We went out and sledded down it, and it was quite fun. It wasn’t very steep, so we didn’t get up lots of speed. It was still very cool to cruise down the slope on the sled. The entire run is about 100 yards long. About 30 yards into it there is a left-hand turn that is a challenge, but that just adds to the fun. About halfway down, it levels out before going over a ridge, and that’s when you really pick up the speed.
The entire experience was very fun, but the long walk up through the soft snow was exhausting. I could barely make it back up the hill, and I had to wait a while to catch my breath. My lungs don’t like physical exertion in the cold weather.
A hot shower and some Primatine Mist helped get my lungs back into condition though.
PS: Primatine Mist in the eye really burns!
