You step out of the car into a wind that pins the air to your cheeks; a pilot in insulated gear revs a snowmobile and the ridge ahead seems to dare you forward.

Dress in windproof layers
Temperatures on passes can be much colder than in the valley—insulated, windproof outer layers and thermal base layers are essential.
Protect eyes and electronics
Bright snow and reflected sun demand goggles/sunglasses; carry a waterproof case and spare batteries for cameras as cold drains power fast.
Secure pickup and timing
Confirm exact pickup location and allow flexibility—mountain roads or bad weather can change schedules; arrive 10–15 minutes early.
Respect health limits
Not recommended for people with serious back or heart conditions; sled descents can be bumpy and snowmobile rides involve vibration.
