    the craziest hill is the c.o.p hills

    its well worth it and its very scary - gives a great adeneline

    North end: I'd say the hill on University Drive near the 16th Ave bridge (probably one of the best in the city imo)

    South end: the hill behind Glenmore Inn ain't bad. just the shady area, that's all...

    Yeah, that's the one; across from McMahon on University Drive. I think to get to the top by car, you have to cut through the neighbourhood. Do so by heading eastbound on University, and turn at the lights just before it merges onto Crowchild. But since I haven't been there in years, I don't remember much after that. You'd have to just search your way around once you're on the side streets.

    The hill was popular back in the day (5+ years ago), dunno what it's like now since I live in the South in Calgary, and my U of C days have been outnumbered.

    Strathcona by the Christian Elementary school. I used to live there before they put school in and it was twice as large. Very fun memories from my childhood there, except that time I flipped upside down and ripped half my face off when I was like 6. It's still a great hill though, check it out!

    Fish creek park right near bebo grove or whatever its called at the end of 24th st SW... used to go there all the time when I was younger... Just look for the mansions at the top of the hill, that area is the best, soo steep.

    it's about 150 feet long, steep, you can easily hit 50+ kph with the right kind of sled

    I forget how to get there exactly, but I'll drive it friday night to be sure :P I love that hill, go there every year

    Prarie winds is probably the most safest... And not illegal.

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.
