Directions: Sledding hill around Chambers Road
and Yale. Off of Chambers, turn east on yale, and then at the stop sign
turn right, down the road there is a school and about 1-2 bloacks
after the school there is Meadowwood Rec Center. There are two hills. There
is one at the intersection for smaller children, and another at the
park in the rec center parking lot. I believe it is on dartmouth.
Comments: There are no real hazards, however if you are heavy enough, going fast enough, and have the right type of sled, which is not the case most of the time, there is a creek about 4 feet wide that is surrounded by bushes. However if you can make it that far, the bushes will stop you, and the creek is only a few inches deep, so it stays frozen.

Directions: Sledding hill near the
crossroads of Arapahoe Road and Holly Street. Dam Grade, Run Of Dam Grade Hill. Comments: If I were to put it into perspective of what a skiing run would be rated I would say it is a Black or A Black Diamond! You can park in the office buildings parking lot. SLED AT YOUR OWN RISK THERE, BECAUSE IT GETS ROUGH AND THERE ARE A MODERATE AMOUNT OF HAZARDS!

Directions: Tantra Park in south Boulder. Take Broadway to Hanover, the street one stoplight south of Table Mesa. Head east on Hanover, then immediately south on Lashley. Take a left on Brookfield, follow it to the bottom of the hill, and park near the playground. Comments: The best and most dependable sled hill in the area. This sled hill is longer than a football field and at least 60 vertical feet wide. Children can break-in skis in the powder and catch air off a good-sized jump someone inevitably builds. This is a favorite with snowboarders, for good reason. Sledders can hit 20 mph and the sidewalk, hay bales or trees at the bottom, so a helmet and preservation instinct are good ideas. Sledding hill faces north, so snow stays on it longer before melting. The bottom of the hill has a short run-out for sledders and is dotted with trees, light poles and private property fencing. A girl was injured here when she hit a tree a few years ago that made the city consider banning sledding here.

Directions: Scott Carpenter Park at the corner of Arapahoe and 30th Street. Comments: Features a designated sled riding hill about the same height as the one at Casey, but it's gentler and can be better for small children, beginning skiers or snowboarders. The hill faces east and doesn't hold snow for as long as those facing north (ie. Tantra & Casey's). The runout for this hill is very far from the road. There is ample free public parking in the parking lot to the north of the hill.

Directions: Casey Middle School. Sled riding hill starts above the football field at the corner of 13th and North streets.
Comments: The sled riding hill, being only 25 feet high, is the steepest sled hill in town. Snowboarders build jumps on the west side of the bank and try to avoid the goal posts at the bottom. The goal posts are a danger. Keep runs away from them. Like Tantra Park, Casey's sled hill faces due north, so all three can be slideable when most Boulder sled hills have melted to brown.

Directions: The Foothills Community Park is
actually quite large but the sledding hill is most closely located near
6th Street and Locust Avenue in Boulder, CO. On Google maps they call it
North Boulder Community Park but that is incorrect. Comments: This sledding hill is actually a bowl with two sides. One side of the hill faces south and the other faces North (the bowl side) sweeping to the West (facing East). A pretty good hill, often improved by the construction of ramps by the visitors. Kind of a small "top" unlike Scott Carpenter Park which has a large flat area at the top for staging. This hill has the foothills as a backdrop.

Directions: Sledding hill at Ellefson Park in Vail. That is not easily located on the maps. Take the West Vail exit from I-70. (If traveling on I-70 E, cross under the I-70 on Chamonix Road). In the round-about, take the Chamonix Road. Left on Chamonix Lane. Left on Arosa Drive. Right on Garmisch Drive.
Comments: Vail's most popular sledding hill is here. There are only 4 designated parking spots. This hill is on the side of a mountain. So you can climb as high as you want. There is a nice flat "catch" area at the bottom, so you won't end up on a road. Disclaimer: The webmaster of SledRiding.com is in no way responsible for trespassing (due to false information) and/or injury or death of any person or persons on any hills listed on this website. Go sledding at your own risk. 2008 UPDATE: We visited Ellefson Park yesterday, after reading about it on your site. It made the 2 hour drive to Vail even more worthwhile! Great for kids and adults, not crowded (in fact only us and one other family), and parking for four cars. There is also a great undercover table setting you can eat at if you bring your food with you. (The bathrooms were locked while we were there.) Highly recommended, we will visit again. The link to my YouTube video of us there is above. |

Directions: Sled Riding hill at Donkey Hill Greenbelt, just west of Harriman Lake Park on the other side of a tiny subdivision. The sledding hill is visible from Quincy and Simms, but there's not really room on the streets for parking. You can either park at adjacent Harriman Lake Park, or in the nearby neighborhoods.
Comments: The sledding hill has different areas to sled down, some very treacherous some easy and smooth. The main area popular with sledders is smooth and safe.
