One of Topeka's favorite sledding hills was busy place Wednesday afternoon.

A youth group from Town and Country Christian Church hit the slopes with blocks of ice in hand. The kids slid down Quinton Heights for about an hour and a half.

James Wright, a youth minister, said the group meets for a couple of hours every Wednesday to have fun.

He says they have tried "ice blocking " before and plan to return when the snow falls.

A group heads down the hill.
