Looked like more of a small mound.

I would imagine going by the username and the fact i was called 'babe' that they are a D4 head.
So i presume it was Killiney Hill that we were all meant to know about..

There's no time for that, young man. You need to sell some papers!

Go down a hill making sure you zip right across the road through oncoming traffic..............deadly buzz!

Failing that get some turf / coal bags, they fly down a hill!

The Curragh in Kildare is awesome for sledding.

Well I was out in Deer Park golf course in Howth yesterday, there was loads of people there. Even though there was some snow last night, the hills there should still be compacted pretty well, so you wont have to spend much time getting the snow right for sledding. Up by the resevoir seemed the best spot, but there were more people down further so it was probably a better spot.

Just don't go down the Military Hill in the Pheonix park, my BF did last year and he broke 2 vertibrae in his spine, he's better now thank the flying spagetti monster.:)

OP - I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but if it's the same sled you used as a child? Then you may need to add some significant reinforcement to it.:D

SeaFields

A sled? OP is very posh.

We used to go sliding on the snow on a big black bag when we were growing up.

Good times

Come to my house! I've been using a body board and an old milk crate. I need a sled!

There's a nice steep hill in Slane.

Oy ... but if you're going to take the LUAS, you could get off at Milltown. Down the hill from the stop, take a left, cross the road and carry on till you're past the flats and can get the footbridge across the Dodder. Not much of a hill, but it was something: picture here.

You can evoke the spirits of the ancients and see if they can make you go faster.

Spider Hill in Rathfarnham is pretty steep and good craic. Packed though.

The park at the back of the civic offices seems to be pretty awesome for sledding. I saw some kids there sledding down the hill on my way home.
