​The campfire is a-cracklin' on the top of Art Hill right now, and according to the three lone sledders during the morning rush hour, the snow is fine, powdery and dry. That means:

Snowboards and boogie boards: FLYING! (Daily RFT was offered a test ride, and, holy shit). (Daily RFT was also offered a swig of Grand Marnier, but had to decline at 8:33 am).

Plastic shells/toboggans: FAST!

Innertubes: SOMEWHAT SLOW. Although, the snow is getting kind of melty and the main sledding tracks well worn, meaning that tubes will start picking up speed as the morning progresses.

Woohoo from hot and steamy (and partially underwater) Australia. (And yes, one of the persons in the pic has Australian friends).

To the author: 8.33 AM in STL is 10:33 PM in Sydney, hence it's a perfect time for a swig Grand Marnier.

95% of the people who sled on Art Hill are douche-bags. Don't worry, I'm sure you're in the other 5%.
