Living in the Hamptons attaches many stereotypes to its residents.  Among those are ‘rich’, ‘stuck-up’, and even ‘beach-monkeys’.  While these tend to be true on most occasions, being a hardcore beach goer isn’t the only thing the locals do to stay entertained.

During the winter months the waters reach freezing levels leaving only the brave cold-water surfers stay afloat.  The question the world is begging to know is, what do the Hamptons residents do during this frosty season? Well, my intrigued comrades, the answer is Sleigh Riding.

In our school, the students have come to use any sort of hill to get their sledding fixes.  When asked about his expeditions, senior and veteran-sledder Eric Silverman praised, “The sump in EMO is the best place to ride because I get to see all of my old middle-school friends and hang with them and my WHB crew.  Its always a fun time.”  On the contrary, critically acclaimed senior bachelor, Marc Cotter, shared his sledding pleasures at the Waterhole in Speonk.  “The scenic view of the place is great and I enjoy the thrill of almost landing in the water when I come down the slope.  I honestly think sledding is a way of coming together with your bros and family and sharing a common passion.”  Well put Marc, you have an impeccable way with words.

Other places WHB students claimed to sled at include: the EQHC sump, the Sandpit in Westhampton Beach, and the Shinnecock Hills Golf Course in Southampton.

For those intense shredders, several students have suggested making the trip to Southampton to shred.  Junior Henry Seeliger said, “I came out to see what [the Shinnecock hill] was all about for I heard from some classmates that it was quite the rage for sledding.  When I rode it for the first time, I was instantly hooked.  Each slope was a new adventure for me; I had never felt so alive.”

So before you decide to go and send a billion snow-complaint tweets, try sledding for a change for the short time of winter we have left, only if it snows, of course.
