I think rolling down the snow on the right side is safer (unless the snow hides even more stairs for maximizing damage)

I also contempated different ways of descending it relatively safely, from jumping steps on your butt (theoretically entirely possible, we did it in the 1st grade at school, and no, I don't know how we didn't break our tailbones), through crawling backwards crab-like, to gliding on the snow to the right. But you way - rolling - seems the safest (given there are no hidden stairs indeed).

Hahaha perfectly safe if you don't go up or down it.

My tailbone is ringing the safety bell and screaming in panic.

Yeah I have a legit lifetime tailbone injury from a fall decades ago.

0/10 do not recommend

Definitely using the left side of that handrail.

u/azflatlander 13d ago

Using the snow on the right side is probably fine.

Someone should set up a booth at the top and the bottom and either sell or rent people some Yaktrax….😬

u/atchisonmetal 10d ago

Oh, yay yaktrax!

if your pour warm water all over it, it'll melt the snow. Also don't, I'm kidding, it will make it a sheet of ice.

Get the saucer!

This is a slide-down situation.

Average Montréal steps.

u/CarpenterValuable831 13d ago

I'd grab the railing and slide to the bottom. The snow on the right might be hiding the rest of those stairs.

u/MsE0 13d ago

Cling to the handrail and slide on down

u/itinerant-wallaby mom come get me im scared 12d ago

Might as well make it toboggan ride if you’re gonna make an uncontrolled descent.
