Winter Safety Tip of the Day: Stay Warm & Dry

Dressing in layers is key to staying safe and comfortable during winter recreation.

Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add an insulating layer like fleece, and finish with a waterproof, windproof outer layer. Don’t forget gloves, a hat, and warm socks to protect your extremities!

Staying dry is just as important as staying warm, so pack an extra set of clothes in case you get wet.

It’s also important to avoid cotton at all costs! Unlike synthetic materials, fleece, or wool, cotton stays wet once it gets wet, leaving you cold and uncomfortable.

These tips can help prevent cold injuries like hypothermia or frost bite and will help keep your adventure enjoyable… and warm!

We had a great time on our adventures yesterday! We made a pit stop to Red Rocks and got to see a band rehearsal on stage (awesome), and then we went on a 5 mile historic hike with beautiful views of the mountains, a nice breeze, picnic lunch and snake encounter!

🚨 Please wear your life jackets (PFD’s) 🚨

Colorado is prone to microburst storms and cold water shock. Even if you’re a good swimmer, or are wearing your leash, that is not a substitute for a flotation device. Most drowning incidents could have been prevented if the victim had been wearing a life jacket.

Don’t want tan lines? Wear a waist belt PFD

Going on the river? Wear a Type III PFD (also please take a course with an instructor if you do not have river experience)

Keeping your life jacket on your vessel and not on your body will not help you in the case of an emergency.

If you value your life, please wear your life jacket on all bodies of water, all of the time 🙏

Twelve people have died on Colorado’s rivers and lakes so far in 2024, raising concerns among state officials as water-related deaths are already higher than this time last year.
