The first recorded sled ride down the hill this year

Test run: 11-25-05
Sled: Little Blue
Passengers: One
Time: Trip not timed
Snow: Hard
Temperature: 0
Speed: Moderate
Number of wipeouts: 0
Comments: Sled was sensitive to weight shift. Touchy steering, turned on a dime must be careful of over turning. Has good potential if it wasn’t for the flat bottom.

You're hired! We assume you have had experince. But then again, that doesn't really matter since we our selves are so inept. Come as soon as you can...

A very Merry Christmas to you, and may all your dreams be filled with snow!

Hmmm... this sounds like a consumer reports critique

how high was the hill?

From the top, its 4 corners and just under a half a mile down...it all depends on what you consider the top though. and add another corner if you're thinking of ending up at the house at the bottom...we've only turned it once this year so we haven't been counting it.
