Adult Downhill Sledding - Light Stick Races

How to start your adult downhill sledding

  1. Gather up some good friends. Send out a mass text message or email. Maybe send a Raven? But find some fun folks to head to the hill.
  2. Gather up some sleds. These can be found at most Big Box Stores. I found mine at my parents house. Make a cardboard sled or use your brain to create a super sweet sled.
  3. Purchase a pack of glow sticks. I'd say a glow stick per person.
  4. Now you have what is needed for a good adult sledding session (maybe a drink too!)


Find a downhill sledding hill

Now you're required to find a good to adequate hill for some sledding. Use the internet, ask friends and family members. This is the most important part... YOU can't go sledding a nice hill and some SNOW.



Glow in the dark sledding

Here we go... the game begins. How do you play? Find a starting line and place the racers on the line. You'll want at least 4 racers for this to be a good time. Have a few people go down the hill to mark a finish line out.

They'll be the ones responsible for cracking the glow sticks and spreading them out at the bottom of the hill. You'll want a fewer glow sticks than racers. The idea is like musical chairs, one or more of the racers will be left WITHOUT a glow stick.

Once glow sticks are lit up and placed across the finish line the race is ready to start. Someone at the top of the hill needs to start the race.


READY... SET.... GO!!!!

The racers speed down the hill. It's a race and anything goes. Winners move on.... Losers get punished. What's the punishment? A shot.... a few push-ups..... walking up the hill with their pants down. This is your call and can change every time or make a tradition out of it.
