A hush falls over the pines as your boots press into fresh snow; breath fogs in front of you and woolly hats tuck ears against the cold.

Dress in layers
Start with a moisture-wicking base, insulating mid-layers and a windproof outer shell; temperatures drop quickly after sun goes down.

Snow and frozen lakes mean wet feet are a real risk—sturdy, insulated, waterproof boots improve comfort and safety.

Cold suppresses thirst but you still need regular hydration; a thermos with warm drink helps body temperature and morale.
