ICE-BLOCKING

ON ART HILL

There's a new summer sport

on famous Art Hill,

at the foot of the St. Louis Art Museum.

Art Hill is the #1 snow sledding spot in winter months.

With every fresh snow, thousands bring their sleds

to race down this magnificent hill

in the middle of Forest Park.

Now there's a warm weather sledding option

on green grass, under blue skies, on beautiful days . . .

ICE BLOCKING.

All you need is a block of ice, a towel to sit on

and a good sense of balance.

It's great fun, all the way down.
