Safety Precautions

Dress for the activity

• Wear loose, lightweight, warm clothing in several layers. Outer garments should be tightly woven, water repellent and hooded.
• Always wear a hat or cap on your head since half of your body heat could be lost through an uncovered head.
• Cover your mouth with a scarf to protect your lungs from extreme cold
• Mittens, snug at the wrist, are better than gloves because fingers maintain more warmth when they touch each other.

Follow the instructions of your driver at all times.
