Dress in layers for fluctuating temperatures

Temperatures can vary greatly throughout the day, so layering ensures you stay comfortable on extended ski days.

Carry a navigation device, even on the trail

While the trail is well-marked, snowy conditions can obscure paths, so a GPS or compass is recommended.

Start with shorter sections if unsure

Build your endurance gradually by breaking the journey into manageable segments the first few days.
