Best Sledding spots on Campus

On the night before Super Bowl Sunday, snow finally dumped on campus and graced students with a beautiful landscape.
With getting almost seven inches in a few hours, shouts could already be heard in the dark as everyone poured out to enjoy the snow. From snowball fights to forts, everyone had a good time. My friends and I trekked out into the blizzard to find some prime sledding spots with some container lids and even the containers themselves. It’s what happens when no one has brought a sled or two to school with them.

Here are some spots I enjoyed sledding-or attempting to sled on campus:

  • The steep hill right between the Chemistry Building and North Parking Ramp. You know the one I’m talking about. The place that has four options to get up: the elevator, the parking ramp stairs, the hill, or the stairs right next to the Chemistry building. The trick is to get to it before it gets completely plowed over and is still slick.
  • The hill behind Stanley hall. It’s a popular spot for snow ball flights and sledding with lunch trays from Burge dining hall (Don’t know how that works as I used a container from Wal-Mart).
  • The incline next to the Seamans Center (engineering building). You’re more than likely going to have to pave your own way if it hasn’t been walked on yet
  • I wouldn’t recommend the Pentacrest as it doesn’t have enough incline to have a smooth ride. The Pentacrest is, however, a good spot to build a snow fort or have a snowball fight.

Enjoy the weather and stay warm!
