The widely anticipated snowstorm is coming to the Northern Virginia area this weekend bringing 15 to 20 inches of snow, meteorologists say. This amount of snow  only means one thing: hardcore sledding! So if you need somewhere to sled in Falls Church this weekend, be sure to check out this list!

1. Mount Daniel Elementary

The street leading up to Mount Daniel Elementary school is enormously popular; not only with the kids that go to this school but also the locals. The one thing with going to Mount Daniel is  that you might have to wait your turn because of its popularity when it comes to sledding.

2. Benjamin Banneker Park

This hill, in the large park near the East Falls Church Metro (next to the dog park) has many fans. The hill is known to be safe and extremely fun.

3. The BB&T Hill

The two tall white towers of BB&T bank (just before Seven Corners, across the parking long from 24-Hour Fitness) represent a great sledding opportunity. Get there early so it’s easy to get a parking spot. Behind the building and the parking garage is the large hill.

4. Lemon Road Elementary

The hills around this elementary school, which is on Idylwood Rd. just outside Falls Church, are gigantic and have many trees. Use caution when sledding near the trees but besides that one factor these hills are one of the most used and talked about hills around. They are very fun and destined to have a good time with kids of all ages.  

5. Gibson, Tracy, and Robinson Place

These three streets run on a steep hill between Rosemary Lane and Poplar Drive. The streets are just a small walk away from Thomas Jefferson Elementary. The hills may not be long but they are extremely steep. The risk with using these streets for some insane sledding is to be careful because they can be very dangerous. Maybe wear a helmet and make sure to have a person down by the end of the street to keep watch for any cars.
