Now that we finally have some snow on the ground, it’s our duty to make the most of it. And that means it’s time to hit the sledding hills. Below we’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite Twin Cities sledding hotspots that you have to check out this winter.
And, side note for you, most of the hills we’ve rounded up are unsupervised and therefore do not have formal days or hours they are open. For safety, we suggest sledding only during daylight hours.
The Best Sledding Hills in St. Paul: Slip, Slide Away
St. Paul is a sledding-lovers dream, with more than 15 hills to test your sled skills. If you’re looking for an exciting ride consider Highland Park Community Center or Baker Park for a nice, steep slope. Do you prefer to go gentle? Prosperity Park or Orchard Field are your best choices. And for something in between, try out Frost Lake or Margaret Parks.
Check out the fun!

The Best Sledding Hills in Minneapolis: Get Your Thrills and Spills

“Theo Wirth is the a perfect hill for kids of all ages! The ride is fast enough for the older kids, but safe enough for the little ones. The hill is steep enough to be fun, but not too steep to hike back up after a run. We can spend hours here!” – Joshua Nite, Twin Cities Dad of Two.
Minneapolis has three designated sledding hills. The fairway transforms into a sledding paradise at Theodore Wirth Park and the Columbia Golf Course. But if you want to see a stunning sunset with your ride, be sure to hit Valley View Park at dusk.

These guys were my second call when my furnace stopped working properly. The first company I used sent a tech out who said the furnace needed to be replaced, and gave me a quote, but said he "jiggled a wire" and got it running again for the time being.
When it went out again the other day, I called Ray N. Welter. Their tech, Ralph, fixed the problem in half an hour. He told me the furnace is pretty old, but his fix should get me through the winter "and maybe a couple more," and then gave me a quote that was lower than the first company.
These guys are rad.

Furnace stopped working. When that happens after hours you learn a lot about companies. Today I called RW and got a person on the phone that knows about furnaces and he dispatched a service person Phil within 2 hours. I called them based on personal refer and reviews. They are excellent. Despite having a very old furnace it was the second time that this company said I did not need to replace. If I did replace it I want a Trane and RW would do to the work. For now I will call them for fall/spring tune ups and love that they don't have the club memberships etc. Just good solid customer service for all customers. A really ++ experience. Family run business with integrity.

If you need superior service this is your company!!! We were in Florida experiencing our first year as "snowbirds" when our furnace (in Bloomington) stopped working. Rick Welter personally took our call and not only sent a technician to our cold home, but checked on it for the next two days until our new heating unit could be properly installed. Phenomenal service!
In addition to the great service, their pricing was very competitive. I highly recommend this company for all of your heating or A/C needs!!!
