A word of advice to anyone looking to sled at our first-place winner, Pinehurst Hill, on Eau Claire’s north side: the last time we tried to climb the hill all the way to the top, our heart rate hit 195 and we started to see spots. So, maybe do a few jumping jacks in the lead up to your next sledding excursion? Or, visit the slightly more manageable Forest Hill Cemetery/Seven Bumps, located on the crest of Eau Claire’s Eastside Hill, or our third place winner, Jelly Bean Hill, behind Altoona Family Restaurant in Altoona. —Eric Rasmussen
