Layer for variable cold
Temperatures can swing; wear moisture-wicking base layers plus an insulated outer shell even though some gear is provided.
Keep your visor clear
Goggles fog quickly—pack an anti-fog wipe or use a balaclava to manage breath while keeping vision sharp.
Hands-on throttle briefing
Arrive early for the pre-ride orientation and practice loop; heated grips help but steady throttle control is key on corners.
Watch for wildlife tracks
Slow down when you see fresh tracks—animals can be nearby and braking on packed snow takes longer.
Insulated base and mid-layers
Traps warmth and wicks moisture during sustained cold exposure.
