Betty, Belly flopping was the only way to go. We also had a large hill that we went down on pieces of cardboard, sleds, garbage can lids or anything else that would go. Sure was great fun in those days. Snowing again today and I have doctor appointment down in the valley. Sure could do without the snow today.
