Sledding Anyone?

This spring snow makes me think about sledding. Boulder has some great options.
sledding-2Check out these locations for some of the best sledding around:

Scott Carpenter Park: This is a mellow, fun slope for the kids, but adults enjoy it too!

Tantra Park [Just South of 46th and Hanover]: This sledding hill can get incredibly packed and at places it is steep.

Foothills Community Park: There are some great, low angle slopes here for kids and adults.
