Wondering if there are any great places to go sledding in the KC area... I figure with the snow coming in i might just try to find some mean slope and break out the ole sled.
Any cool urban hills?

KC Region is all part of the same animal regardless of state and county lines.
Think on the Regional scale.

Suicide Hill.....57th and Brookside Blvd.
I'm sure it will be very busy with the kiddos today though.

Kansas City Museum - Gladstone Blvd & Cliff Drive.
Relatively steep and fast too. Most times there's a fire barrel there to keep warm - haven't checked that today however.
Bottom of hill was landscaped a few years back by Parks Dept for improved drainage to Cliff Drive so you can't sled from the museum all the way down to Cliff Drive anymore.
Still good sledding however!

Gillham Park in Midtown and Water Works Park on North Oak are also quite good. Westwood Park in the West Plaza is good if you want to sled and imbibe.
