I live near a few of them. When I was growing up, the city would close off a few of the uphill streets when there was enough snow ... and naturally, those streets would become sledding runs for kids and adults.
I own skis, but I don't own a sled or a toboggan. My city has had only two snowstorms in its history. If another snowstorm happens, I could ski down my street. My block is on a hill. It's not a steep hill. I calculated 2,5% grade using Google Maps. I think I would be safe skiing on my street. No people would be driving because my city has no snowplows.
