1st Place: Seven Bumps/East Hill Cemetery
2nd Place: Pinehurst Hill
3rd Place: Mount Simon

The sledding hill in the East Hill Cemetery in Eau Claire, more commonly known as Seven Bumps, has topped the Best Of Poll for the second time. Perhaps it’s because of the cemetery, which adds a more frightening appearance, or possibly it’s just the sheer bumpiness that defines the hill. (Word to the wise: Use inflatable snow tubes, rather then sleds with metal runners – they’ve been known to lead to concussions.) Pinehurst comes in a close second, but its out-of-the-way location may have hurt its standing in the polls. Third place Mount Simon offers two sled courses, carved out by local snowboarders, one of which is a winding trail through a thick growth of trees, whereas the other is a straight downward plunge, known to make even the most macho of men to scream like little girls. Short children and the faint of heart need not apply. – Bailey Berg
