Fribourg isn't located at a very high elevation, so we haven't seen a whole lot of snow in our area so far this winter. However, the mountains around us are all snow-capped, so if we're willing to do a little driving, we can find some snow. Some friends called one weekend to see if we wanted to go sledding with them and we readily agreed. We drove about 30 mintues into Schwarzee where it was snowing steadily and the lake was frozen solid. We had fun trudging up the hill, sledding down and then doing it all over again. It was hard to get a good run in, since the snow was so fresh and continued to fall, but it made for low impact crashes. After an hour or so of this we were exhausted and went to the restuarant there for some coffee and french fries. What a fun day!

A view of Schwarzee and Tom climbing the hill. Snow is falling rather heavily at this point.

FUN! I want to come sled! When I lived in Wisconsin, we had a tiny hill beside our house that during the snow season one time we took a sled out there and kept trying to go down standing up, like a snowboard... lots of crashes, as you can imagine :)
