Ready to start winter? Even if you're not, this Sledding Hill Kit will let you turn any hill you have into the best sledding hill.
This kit is to allow you to sled down SL terrain hills. It includes the panels, which allow the sleds to slide properly, and the sled rezzor with 12 different sleds.
The panels are 1 prim each, and the sled rezzors are 2 prims each.

SL PF: Sledding Instructions
=================
Rez the Sledding Hill Panel, and have it cover the path that you will be sledding down the hill. Once you have them all placed, just should "/1 hide" to make the panel transparent.
Then at the top of the hill, rez the Sled Rezzor. Then just click on it, and you can select which sled you wish to ride. After it rezzes, just sit and click on it to start sledding down. You can steer it left and right. Once you are at the bottom, just stand up and the sled will auto-delete itself.
Best Sled Hill Around
I looked everywhere inworld and on the MP for a sledding hill that would allow me to host a sled party where avatars could sled like you do on a hill IRL: pushing off at the top and sliding down the hill, steering yourself right and left. This sled hill kit is one of the few around like that, and definitely the best. You can even build it on mesh landforms, if you don't want to fiddle around with terraforming your hill.
Be sure to ask the creator to give you his "fixed" kit version, as two of the sleds don't work in version 1. But once you get the fixed kit, you will love the creative sleds (rocket, hotdog, shipping box, shovel - rofl!), as well as the way the sleds work. There are singles and doubles versions of sleds so two avies can ride on one sled. You can also have multiple sleds go down at once, for sort of a race (or collisions, more often).
Most sleds you get in SL require an engine and user control, and often require avies to "wear" the sleds, which kind of ruins the experience. These, however, let you rez a selected sled from a menu, sit on it, touch it, and then go sliding down the hill with no more input other than steering right and left- just like a sledding hill IRL!
Building your hill is a little fiddly, but once you get the hang of it you can build a creative sledding course with humps and turns. I have mine dumping riders into a big cup of hot chocolate at the bottom - lol. TIP: When you build your sled hill, you have to use a number of the provided "sled panels". These are basically flat prims you put on the surface of your hill to make the sleds slide better. Be sure the seams between your panels are either even or slightly ABOVE the next panel, not BELOW it - otherwise the sleds get caught up on the seam. Woot woot!
Great fun!
This is a lot of fun with lots of sled options. My particular favorite is the hot dog. Be sure to sit on the 'drive' animation first when using the double sleds or you will receive a script error.
Great Customer Service.
I had a few issues with this product, and the creator sent me a message personally. I respect any creator that steps up to improve their customer service. This is a cute little item for something different to do in SL. The hot dog is my personal favorite.
