Sledding Safety Tips (Quick + Important!)

  • Check the hill for rocks, icy patches, or obstacles before kids start.
  • Helmets are a good idea — especially for younger sledders.
  • Dress in warm layers and waterproof gloves.
  • With busy hills, take turns and watch for sledders coming down.
  • Pack extra mittens (they always get soaked!) and hot cocoa for the ride home.
