My older brother & I gained popularity every winter because we had a big hill in our back yard . But once spring came , some of those kids disappeared. eyeball roll
Give them a push. They’ll go downhill a whole lot faster! Then run to the top of the hill and wait for them to bring the sled to you. Take it downhill, then carry it home.

I served as the horse myself this winter while my 2-year-old daughter kept singing “Jingle bells”. Merry were those who passed us!
