CLEVELAND (WJW) — It’s all downhill from here.
When the snow comes for Northeast Ohio there’s no other choice (unless you want to stay inside for months on end) but to zip up that parka and embrace the chill. Proving that fun and cold CAN mix, we’ve put together a roundup of regional places to sled, ski, innertube and toboggan in a safe and legal environment — as in, not in the middle of a busy roadway. Most sled hills are free while other activities are not.

Just remember that what goes down must come back up to ride down again. And that can take a lot out of you.
