Sledding At Halifax Elementary School

After a bit of snow, we followed the old Iron Maiden advice about Run To The Hills. We just brought sleds.

Halifax was our host. I was a Monponsett kid for a while, so me coming up from the Cape with a child I borrowed in New Bedford isn't really cheating.


Halifax Elementary School was our hill of choice. Not too steep, but good enough for a nice run.


Happy Birthday!

It's not like there aren't hills in New Bedford or Cape Cod, but Halifax is in SE Massachusetts' snow zone, and they had twice as much snow from this storm as New Beffuh or White Florida got.

It's a popular spot, but never overcrowded. It's also where the town blasts off their fireworks, so you know that they are squeezing every bit of fun that they can out of this property.

Yummy Snow Mummy. I saw a few Sled Moms borrow the sled from the kid and take a run themselves.

This lady gets in the story because our kids were sledding together, she witnessed me taking a run, and is my backup when I tell you that no kid got better air off the jump than I did.

I don't have film of the jump, but here is the boss taking a run. I should add that he goes 6'5", 250 lbs, he's in a sled meant for a 5 year old, he says "Fuck!" at one point and then crashes into a toddler.



If you build a snowman and we see it, your snowman is going into Cranberry County Magazine, player.

Ride hard, kid... childhood is but a flash, and pretty soon "going downhill fast" has a more ominous meaning.
