Safety Information

Dress in breathable layers to manage body temperature. Wax skis appropriately for current snow conditions. Carry a trail map and navigation tools. Bring emergency shelter and extra food. Ski with a partner when possible. Be aware of hypothermia and frostbite symptoms. Check weather forecasts before departure.

Treat every firearm as if it's loaded. Always identify your target and what's beyond it before shooting. Wear bright orange or other high-visibility colors during hunting season. Follow all local hunting laws and regulations. Let others know your hunting location and planned return time.

Always climb with experienced partners and use proper rope techniques. Inspect all ice climbing equipment before each use. Assess ice quality and stability before climbing. Wear a helmet and use ice screws for protection. Check weather conditions and avalanche forecasts. Carry emergency communication devices.

Verify ice thickness before venturing out - minimum 4 inches for walking, 5-7 inches for snowmobiles. Wear a flotation suit or life jacket. Bring ice picks, rope, and a throw cushion for emergencies. Never fish alone. Inform others of your location and return time.

Only skate on designated and approved ice surfaces. Check ice thickness - minimum 4 inches for individual skating. Never skate alone on natural ice. Wear a helmet, especially for beginners. Carry ice picks or rope for self-rescue if ice breaks.

Always wear a properly fitted helmet and appropriate protective gear. Check weather conditions and avalanche forecasts before heading out. Stay on marked runs within your skill level. Never ski alone in backcountry areas. Carry avalanche safety equipment (beacon, probe, shovel) for off-piste skiing.

Wear a helmet and wrist guards to prevent common injuries. Learn proper falling techniques to minimize impact. Check equipment bindings and board condition before each use. Respect other slope users and follow ski resort safety rules. Stay hydrated and take breaks to prevent exhaustion.

Dress in layers and bring extra warm clothing. Carry navigation tools as trails can be obscured by snow. Inform others of your route and expected return time. Be aware of avalanche risk in mountainous terrain. Bring trekking poles for stability on steep or icy slopes.

Dress in layers using moisture-wicking and insulating materials. Bring extra warm clothing, food, and water. Use traction devices (crampons or microspikes) on icy trails. Start early to avoid getting caught in darkness. Be aware of shorter daylight hours and changing weather conditions. Carry emergency shelter and fire-starting materials.
