Quotation marks mean the agency's exact words. Lights, shelters, restrooms and children's slopes show only where the agency says so, so a missing one means not stated, not no. "Cost not stated" means the agency doesn't say what sledding costs. Read how we check listings.

Our take

Plan for a physically demanding ride. The park district runs twin 700-foot refrigerated ice chutes that it says operate with or without snow, weather permitting, and it describes the ride as rough and physically jarring. Read its health warnings before you go; it tells people with back problems and certain other conditions not to ride.

Expect to climb. Riders walk up 108 steps to reach the chutes, while a lift carries only the toboggans, which staff load and unload. Once you're in, the agency says you may keep riding until close that day, though on busy days it limits single riders and waits run longer around holidays.

Book with care and watch for changes. The agency asks people to cancel at least 48 hours ahead if plans change, and it posts closings and changed hours on its toboggan page when weather or ice gets in the way. Between runs, the Chalet's fireplace is a good place to warm up.

Before you go

Sled-day checklist

Sled smart

  • Think about helmets. Many families use a ski or bike helmet for sledding. Check that it fits and follow the helmet maker's guidance.
  • Ride sitting up, facing downhill. Going head-first puts your head in front. Follow your sled's own instructions for riding and steering.
  • Look at the bottom first. Look for a long, flat, open area at the bottom, away from trees, roads, fences, parking lots and water.
  • After dark, use a lit hill. The cards show which hills the agency lists as lit.
  • Walk up the side. Summit Metro Parks asks sledders to "walk up the side of sled hills, not in the center" (Summit Metro Parks). It's a good habit anywhere.
  • Take turns. Wait until the run below you is clear, and keep little kids close.
