Skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, snowmobiling and sledding are fun winter activities, but they are not without risk. Some things you can do to set yourself up for a successful day include:
- Check your equipment! Make sure it is in good repair and adequate to the task.
- Don’t go alone. It’s not just more fun to share an activity with someone else, it’s safer, too.
- Warm-up with gentle stretching and mobility exercises & take breaks when needed!
- Hydrate! Supplement with a sports drink after 2 hours of activity.
