Pack for the weather
It's important to check current conditions at your destination and pack appropriately.
-
Tell someone where you're going
Let friends and family know where you'll be and when you expect to get back.
-
Be aware of your surroundings
Carry a map, stay on the trail, keep a safe distance from wildlife, and don't assume you'll have cell service.
-
Know your limits
No matter your activity, make sure you've got the right gear and the right training to get back safe.
-
Always have a Plan B
Have a backup plan, so you know what to do if situations change beyond your control.
Wildly Responsible in the Winter
Winter is full of outdoor opportunities—and risks. Be aware of sudden drops in temperature, high winds, and deep snow. Always stay a safe distance from thin ice, and remember that many trails run through both public and private land.
