Snowshoeing Techniques - Part 9



Safety
(Part 9 of 10)






  • Stay on established trails.
  • Keep within your physical abilities.
  • Do not snowshoe alone.
  • Take breaks, don't get overheated
  • Stay dry
  • Use common sense when deciding how best to reach a hilltop or maneuver through a stand of trees or exposed rocks.
  • Be familiar with signs of hypothermia.  Keep head, hands, and feet warm.  That is where you loose heat the quickest.
  • Before leaving for the TH, let someone know where you are going and when you expect to return.
