Instructions
1. Bundle up! Put on your long underwear and all of your snow gear. Do not forget gloves and a hat, which are most important. Dress warmly; sledding in the snow all day will get cold.
2. Make sure there is enough snow. The more snow on the ground, the less likely you are to hurt yourself. Soft, powdery snow is also more fun.
3. Climb the biggest snow-covered hill you can find. After you climb the hill a few times, a trail will begin to form, making the climb easier.
4. Put the sled on the ground but continue to hold it. Sit cross legged if you have a round sled or sit with your legs straight out in front of your if you have a long sled. If you choose to Lie on your stomach, make sure to look up the whole time so you don't crash into anything.

6. Try to steer by pulling one side of the sled up, while leaning your body in the direction you want to go. Stop yourself at any time by putting your feet on the ground.
