After the snow comes the fun part: Sledding!
If you hadn’t already noticed, the Lehigh Valley has some pretty fantastic hills in our backyards, but maybe your family wants a change of scenery to try something different — and perhaps a bit more extreme.
So grab your snow slider of choice and head out to one of these local slippery slopes. And please be careful.
