Where to Go Sledding and Skating in the Area

Fresh snow and the weekend — a chance to try the area's best hills.

After last winter's nearly snow-less winter, the past week has given many local residents a chance to finally dust the cobwebs off their sleds and toboggans and check out some local hills.

Residents are also dusting off the skates and hitting the ice.
