Sledding 2

 
In late January we went for another sledding trip.
 This time, we traveled south to a ski mountain. You could either take a ski lift up or hike up. We chose to walk.
At the top, we rewarded ourselves with a refreshment in the glorious sunshine. It was crisp and clear and beautiful.
Brian and Daphne decided to take the lift down rather than sled down the mountain. A recent article in the paper may explain why.
The article began,

A third of toboggan runs deemed dangerous

Many of Germany's public toboggan runs would seem to be death traps, according to a survey which noted one where sled riders zip along next to a large barbed-fence, and another which ends abruptly in a road. 

Julia, David, Joachim and I still went down the trail. It took about a half hour and was icy and scary at times. David loved it.
