Winter Hiking Guide
Understand the weather conditions before the trip and adjust your itinerary accordingly
The weather is cold in winter, and the weather in the mountains is even more unpredictable. Before setting off, you must first master the accurate weather conditions for the next three days in the area of activity, as well as estimate the possible severe weather, and bring enough supplies. In addition, if you encounter rain or snow during the trip, you should adjust your itinerary accordingly. You must consider comprehensively and don’t force yourself.
Choose hiking routes according to your physical condition
The temperature is low in winter, and frost or even snow will often occur. At this time, the body’s energy consumption will increase by 10%-20%, so the physical fitness requirements are also higher. Although winter hiking has many advantages, not everyone is suitable for participating. Winter is also the peak season for cardiovascular diseases, and blood pressure will also be affected. Hikers with heart disease, hypertension, and other diseases should consult a professional before choosing hiking.
Those who have no hiking experience need to travel in groups during winter hiking
The weather in the mountains changes rapidly, wind, snow, and fog can all directly threaten our lives, and it takes enough experience to try winter hiking. If you want to hike in winter, you must travel in groups, and try to follow a qualified club or a professional leader certified by the Chinese Mountaineering Association to travel. On the one hand, you can get a better travel experience, and on the other hand, with their company, you can help everyone to avoid risks as much as possible. In case of risks, you can better protect everyone.
Pay attention to keeping warm and prevent hypothermia
Compared with summer hiking, body temperature is easier to drop during winter hiking, and the body is very prone to hypothermia. If it is not handled properly, it can cause more serious consequences. Therefore, you must take proper measures to prevent cold during winter hiking and prevent the risk of hypothermia. The temperature on the snowy mountains sometimes drops below -10℃. At this time, cold protection equipment is essential. Reasonable warmth is very important. In special cases, if you wear light down jackets and wear windproof gloves outside the gloves, it will be more effective. The fingers and toes are the most sensitive to cold, and care should be taken to prevent injury to these parts.
