recent incident on sledging
Note from dad : you have to careful - these slopes had very deep snow and soft landings where we went , there are rocks hidden under the snow in other parts of these slopes , please be careful
-Jake spent a lot of time learning how to up and down deep snow slopes safely, also how to enjoy himself safely , there is always a trade off of undertaking more extreme forms of outdoor activities (for a 7 year old) and safety, have fun but do this safely,
