My grade school north of St Agatha had a nice tall toboggan hill at the foot of which was what is now call Notre Dame Dr. Even then, it could be a busy road. No worries, though, because between the road and the hill was a nice sturdy barbed wire fence.

Following on your subject line, I feel like there's a joke here to be made about a Scottish person looking at this toboggan run and thinking it's not that big a run, really, but I can't get at it. It does make me think of this Robin Williams routine (https://youtu.be/mwzFagy7i3E), which was linked to by every Scottish Facebook friend I have after his death.

That Robin Williams routine is one for the ages. 8-) But the toboggan run reminded me more of all the Calvin and Hobbes sled comics, especially the aftermath one, where they are hiking out, sans sled and covered in snow:

"That was some ride"
"I'll say."

"I've never seen a sled catch fire before."
"We're lucky the pond hadn't frozen."
