I'm not sure why Tom was out sledding with us, but it's a pretty good sled train. Tom and his daughter in front, Matt behind, then Sam, Jason, me, and Sara.







and Jason...

Thanks for sharing these... Good times! The sleds I used were my dads, from the early 1950's. He still has them. I remember waxing them up for the runs.

I didn't own a sled, needless to say. We had a nice runner sled in Montana, but I think we ditched it, expecting that there wasn't going to be enough snow in WA to use it when we moved. I preferred the toboggan under most conditions, anyway :)

I missed a metal runner sled at the Goodwill recently...guy was walking out the door with it Every sled type has it's use! I think I have a new backcountry sled spot scouted out!

I missed that second set of pics you posted...taking me way back. I loved how we had to "stop" before hitting 99th ave.

Yeah, that ditch in front of Christie West's house was a pretty good brake. On skateboards, too.

I just want to know how many people you know with the name Sara?

Oh, come now... a gentleman doesn't disclose that sort of thing.
