Winter brings clear skies and quiet trails, but also shorter days, colder nights and passes that can close overnight. This evening talk covers what to plan for before you set out.

  • Which routes stay open, and which to avoid
  • Cold injuries: frostnip, frostbite and hypothermia
  • Building turnaround times around the daylight you have

The talk is free, and there's no need to sign up.
