Winter TrailsHypothermia and FrostbiteHypothermia, the lowering of body temperature, is caused by exposure to the cold. As the body cools, it loses the ability to function normally.

Watch for signs of hypothermia even on warm days. Initial symptoms are shivering, confusion and clumsiness.

To avoid hypothermia, keep warm and dry. Dress in layers of easily removed, loose-fitting clothing and wear a hat. Carry extra socks and a sweater.

Frostbite is the freezing of living tissue. Fingers, feet, ears, nose and cheeks are most susceptible. The first sign of frostbite is skin turning red, then changing to greyish-white colour. To treat frostbite, gently warm the skin. This can be done by breathing on it, or placign it in the armpit area. Avoid rubbing or massaging as this destroys the skin cells.

Further InformationIn the event of heavy snowfalls and severe weather conditions, we suggest contacting the park office to confirm conditions of trails and roads.
