• Technological devices tend to malfunction in cold temperatures, so bring extra

• batteries/battery packs. Don’t rely on your phone.

• Snowpack can hide the trail and trail markers making it easier to get lost. Pay attention and know how to use a map.

• Exercising in winter burns more calories, so you need to stay nourished. This will keep you warm, too.

• Dehydration expedites the onset of hypothermia, so stay hydrated. If you feel thirsty, you’re already dehydrated.
