Where's your favorite Fox Valley sledding spot?

There's sleds in them there hills!

With a snowy winter upon us now, it's past time to break out the toboggans, sleds and tubes and head for the slopes!

It seems like it started snowing the day after Christmas and hasn't let up.  Every day or two there are snowflakes in the air.  Let's not even mention this polar vortex thing...  We've had a few warm-ish days now.  Have you had a chance to get out with the family and go sledding?

I know the folks up north (and I mean those in Wisconsin) like to refer to us in Illinois as "flat landers" but surely there are hills to be found.  Are there hills sufficient enough for some good old fashioned tri-cities tobogganing?

With over 2,450 acres of park land between St Charles, Geneva and Batavia Illinois, surely there are fun times to be had in the snow.

So dig the sled out of the garage, bundle up, maybe bring a thermos full of hot chocolate and head out to your nearest park for some memories.
