Layer for rapid weather changes
Temperatures can drop quickly at altitude; use a windproof outer layer and thermal mid-layers to stay comfortable between activities.
Bring high-SPF sunglasses or goggles
Snow reflects intense UV—wraparound sunglasses or ski goggles prevent glare and wind irritation during the ride.
Hydrate and eat before ascent
Altitude and cold increase calorie burn—have a solid snack and water before boarding the cable car to avoid fatigue.
Follow guide briefings and weight limits
Electric snowmobiles have specific handling and passenger rules; children under 12 ride only as passengers for safety.
Insulated, windproof jacket
Protects against wind chill during cable car rides and while stationary at high altitude.
