Snow Safety Guidelines

Snow safety guidelines help ensure a safe experience in snowy environments. Always check weather conditions and avalanche forecasts before heading out. Wear layered clothing to stay warm and dry. Use proper gear, including snowshoes or skis, and ensure your equipment is in good condition. If you're venturing into backcountry areas, travel with experienced companions, carry safety equipment like a beacon, probe, and shovel, and know how to use them. Avoid steep slopes after heavy snowfall, as they are prone to avalanches. Lastly, be mindful of your surroundings and prioritize your safety and that of others.
