Except my 13 year old son who I could hear all the way down the hill bellowing "whoooooooo hoooooooo!" He was the first one down, ready to go again!!<br />Those sleds are awesome, and freakin' FAST! My husband inched his way down by digging his heels in the snow on the way down. Thank God there were big bubbling pots of fondue waiting for us at the bottom. It made it all worth it. <br />Can't wait for next year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878125636844884536.post-22804558824156353362009-11-03T04:18:46.774-08:002009-11-03T04:18:46.774-08:00Thanks for the suggestions, M'dame Jo.

We've been meaning to see your side of the mountains, and I think a sled ride is a perfect excuse to plan a visit!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053020814428192067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878125636844884536.post-49241191122945532102009-10-28T08:45:09.834-08:002009-10-28T08:45:09.834-08:00As long as the metal thingies (I'm lacking sle...As long as the metal thingies (I'm lacking sledge related vocabulary) are not too rusty, you're fine. I know it's not really your side of the mountains, but les Diablerets offers nice night-time sledging, not too steep, just perfect IMO... Actually plain magical when the moon's full! And if you're looking for breaking a bone, go to La Tzoumaz, near Verbier.<br /><br />http://www.myswitzerland.com/en/offer-Activities_Excursions-Tobogganing-26880.htmlM'dame Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09143879148704310727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878125636844884536.post-43940396812656806832009-10-28T05:59:03.749-08:002009-10-28T05:59:03.749-08:00Carla - the smaller one measures around 80 cm, so ...Carla - the smaller one measures around 80 cm, so they are not so huge. The photo is deceiving! <br /><br />Fly Girl - we don't sled much in San Diego, so I had never seen one of these before moving here, but I imagine they are very popular outside of Europe. Of course, the highest quality Davos sleds are those actually manufactured in Switzerland :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053020814428192067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878125636844884536.post-10942979137610816802009-10-28T05:35:23.730-08:002009-10-28T05:35:23.730-08:00You know, I've actually seen these sleds here ...You know, I've actually seen these sleds here in Chicago. They look a little too fast to me as well. I love sledding too (on sturdy plastic sleds!) although ice skating is probably my all time fave winter sport.Fly Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191335990973494972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878125636844884536.post-78857150133341733982009-10-27T06:59:16.881-08:002009-10-27T06:59:16.881-08:00Ha!
