Gaiters are recommended to keep snow out of your boots and socks. Wear appropriate sunglasses or goggles. Gaiters and sunglasses are good to bring, too. Remember the weather may vary greatly at the location of the outing. See the Sierra Club Manual of Winter Mountaineering for further information.
Winter trips make memorable experiences.
If you haven't yet tried winter outings, this is a good way to learn about them. Sierra Club leaders will be happy to help you learn how to safely enjoy the winter outdoors, or how to learn more about protecting and preserving our wild open spaces from the comfort of a museum or restaurant. If you do not bring your own skis or snowshoes, contact the leader regarding rental availability. Appropriate cross country skis, ski poles and boots, or snowshoes and boots are required. Dress in layers.
