  • Turnaround Time

    Set a firm turnaround time before leaving — conditions change faster than expected.

  • Layer System

    Dress in layers you can adjust — overheating and hypothermia both end trips early.

  • Know Your Limits

    Turn back when conditions exceed your training — the objective will be there another day.

Safety Notes

  • Carry beacon, probe, and shovel — practice rescue monthly.
  • Check avalanche forecast and terrain rating before every tour.
