Public sliding reservations for 2022-2023 winter season are now open!
(Club membership / renewals are also open - see Membership tab)
Reservations
- Reservations help us have equipment and volunteers ready for the number of folks visiting us. We've had sliders "ages 2-82"! You start at the bottom of the run and work up the hill as you learn to control the sled.
Liability waiver
You can speed things along by bringing your signed form; otherwise we have copies available at the track.
Arrive in comfortable winter clothing (including warm socks!). We provide the other gear needed for sliding (helmet, luge boots, sled), although feel free to bring your own helmet if you have one that covers your ears.
Spectators are free and welcome! We often have a bonfire going for when you take a break to warm up or are just watching the fun. You can also walk up alongside the half-mile track to the hilltop, or to watch the club members practicing higher on the track. Enjoy the beauty of winter!
Private parties
Do you want the luge track and coaching staff all to yourself? Make a booking for your private party! This could be a lesson for one, or a group size of your choosing. For three hours the run, bonfire and instruction will be yours. Please call or email before purchasing to arrange a date and time. Typically Saturday evening and Sunday afternoons work the best, but we can be flexible.

2022-2023 Business Sponsor
As a business sponsor, we have a 18x24 sign made with your business logo posted at the track.
Your sponsorship helps our non-profit club (~40 years!) keep public sliding, after-school programs, and the opportunity for youth to be on the US Natural Track Luge team open and available. We maintain (water, lights, track boards, tractor, sleds, helmets, boots, ...) the only full length natural track luge in the United States.
2022-2023 Race Sponsor
Your sponsorship helps our non-profit club (~40 years!) keep sliding open and available. Your name/business will be named and thanked in the advertising of the event as well as on race day.
We want every child to compete and take a memory home - whether a participation award or a medal for being on the podium! - regardless of their ability to pay. Your sponsorship enables us to have zero race fees for participants, purchases medals, and helps provide for the club potluck that follows the race.
Every child competes from at or below where they have trained on the track. This means a few more starting gates and a little extra work for the race officials, but it keeps the children safe and having fun.
Please contact the club (uplugeclub@gmail.com) to discuss available race dates.
Tax Deductible Donation $10
The UPLC wants no barriers to participation. We have NEVER turned a child or a family away because they couldn't afford a membership. At one point in our after school program 15 of the 25 kids were participating under sponsored memberships. In addition, every year there are always a few kids who need to be outfitted with proper winter coats and snow pants. We take care of each other more like a family than a club.
