Great sledding hills in 8 different NJ counties

Every year when it snows we have people calling the station to find out where they should take the kids to sled. It’s even more important this year to expose a lot more since parents are not going to want their kids to be on crowded hills. That’s why I’ve decided to compile a list of a bunch of different hills in each county.

This way, if you get to one and it’s pretty crowded at least it’s a close driving distance to another. So if sledding is on your schedule this weekend here are some really good sledding hills in eight different counties. A lot of these have been suggested by listeners. Some of them are ones that I took my kids to when they were growing up, and others are where my kids are taking THEIR kids to sled.
