Why do we put up with this white stuff?

THIS is one reason!

Even when you can't get to the resorts you can love snow as a medium for downhill fun.

Last Friday night an e-mail spread through the Manitoid school community: Sledding in Woodland Park on Saturday. 10 a.m. Meadow Woods Sports Complex. Be there!

Throughout the day a dozen parents and a couple dozen kids showed up to tear down a hill on discs, sleds and snowboards. Great fun in the sun.

We didn't get as much snow as other areas, so we turned to The Gazette's list of great sledding areas. Keep it in mind this weekend!.
