Winter Safety Tips

map compass winter skills tahoe rim trail Exploring the wilderness in winter is a wonderful experience. Whether gliding through the trees on cross-country skis, or hiking up a ridge to a beautiful view of Lake Tahoe, the silence and beauty of winter is truly something special.

At the same time, the snowy, cold, winter environment can be extremely dangerous. It takes proper trip planning, experience (or experienced guides), and the right equipment to travel safely in this type of environment.
