More today from Jacques Cartier Park and Winterlude. These giant mounds of snow are sculpted to include slide runs, with water used as needed to make them more slippery. While I didn't go down this year, I have in the past, and it's a lot of fun on one of these tubes.
Finished with one slide area, I proceeded to the next one, approaching it first from the left side, where visitors were ascending the slope in the middle, and making use of slide lanes over on the left, at least on this day. This one takes particular advantage of the gradual slope in the park that leads down towards the river shoreline. I have more from the park to come.
You should have joined them for a slide.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! Cold, but fun.

We have a small local hill which we used to take the kids to about once a winter on snow days. That's when we had them more, so we missed last year and so far this year. I have wanted to go down once in my 70s just to have done it, but it's a no go so far.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great slide!
ReplyDeleteHello, the slide looks like a fun time. I am sure the kiddies love it there, I would try it again if I was younger. Wishing you a happy day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of snow you have! Imagine making hills and slides out of it! So you Canadians prove you have imaginations to match a fun spirit of play!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I wish I could join you all. :-)

I do have to admit that as a kid I did love sledding down hills like that. That was back when I could tolerate the cold.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been sliding for forever it seems. Ah, those were the days!
ReplyDeleteTake Me There Now - Also, Gr8 Playtime Shot
ReplyDeleteCheers
I think I would have more fun watching than sliding!
ReplyDeleteI think it would be great fun!
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful, must be great fun.
ReplyDeleteLooking at it makes me go back to my childhood. Although our slide tubes were much lower and shorter ... ;-)
What fun. The one thing I liked about the cold. When the snow was deep enough we could sled down the one field. Tweeted.
ReplyDeleteSliding was always fun when I was younger. Great shots, William.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool place! So much fun!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid there was snow, too (no kidding!). It was fun!

ReplyDelete@Jeanie: it's a lot of fun.
@Padre: thank you!
@Lois: it's fun either way.

@Bill: thanks!
@Klara: that it is.

DeleteThat's a fun way to put snow to work.
ReplyDeleteIt is!

DeleteHow wonderful that they maintain the slide area for winter fun ~ similar scenes of children sliding in the snow here but only what nature creates ~
