Sledding

Sledding, snowboarding and/or downhill skiing is prohibited on all Amherst College properties

Memorial Hill and the hill south of the Octagon

Memorial Hill and the hill south of the Octagon are particularly dangerous to sled, snowboard or ski on. Amherst College has erected signs indicating that these activities are prohibited and Campus Police will remove anyone sledding, snowboarding or skiing.

Other areas and dangerous practices

In other areas of the College, it is discretionary for the police to remove sledders, snowboarders or skiers. However, should the police notice that an individual is creating dangerous conditions through the construction of ramps or other devices, they will ask that individual to stop and leave the area. Physical Plant will deconstruct any ramps or other devices built on campus properties.
