Best Sledding Hill

One of the best things about the snowy, chilly, frigid weather is the chance to sled down the area’s iconic hills. Have a blast flying down Pinehurst Hill in Pinehurst Park (3523 Delbert Road, Eau Claire). For a more low-key sledding experience, check out Seven Bumps Hill next to the Forest Hill Cemetery (822 Emery St., Eau Claire), complete with a Little Free Sled Library. Have a bite to eat after sledding (or vice versa) behind the Altoona Family Restaurant just in front of Jelly Bean Hill (2000 N. Hillcrest Parkway, Altoona).–Sawyer Hoff
