We have SNOW!
Sledding is a fun winter activity enjoyed by many Vermont children. However, not being cautious can lead to serious injury. Here are some tips for a safe sledding season!
- Be sure the sledding path is away from any motor vehicles!
- Sled feet first only
- One person per sled is safest
- Be sure the hill is free of trees, fences, poles, or other people. A hill that ends with a flat runoff will allow for a safe stop.
- Consider a helmet.
- Return to the top of the hill out of the way of others who are sledding downhill
- Dress warm in layers and protect exposed skin to the elements, including the sun.
Most importantly, have fun!
