There are a variety of tourist attractions to choose from, but for those who enjoy adventure, a trip to the snowy mountains can be an excellent choice, especially skiing, which is very exciting.
However, snowy mountain attractions and the general landscape are different and can be more thrilling. There are also many risks associated with this type of tourism, so proper preparation is necessary. What should you generally prepare?
Firstly, it's important to understand the geographical location of the snowy mountains. Some snow mountains have high altitudes and low oxygen content, making it easy to suffer from hypoxia. Therefore, bringing enough high-altitude reaction drugs is essential, and consider carrying an oxygen tank for insurance. If you're only going to a low-altitude snow mountain and can use a cable car for transportation, then the necessary equipment is quite simple. To enjoy the beautiful snowy peaks and alpine meadows, you only need to withstand the cold and lack of oxygen, so bringing oxygen bottles and coats is recommended.
Secondly, if you're going to the snowy mountains, you must bring various documents as snowy mountain-type scenic spots have strict document checks. It's also important to bring some cash, but not too much. Cash is the most commonly used currency in snowy mountains, so avoid carrying valuables as they can easily be lost at high altitudes.
Snowy mountains have had snow for many years, and when the sun rises, the sunlight reflects off the snow, making it blind. Therefore, sunglasses or ski goggles are essential items.
The temperature in the snowy mountains is lower than in general scenic areas, so it's important to bring enough clothing, such as down jackets and other warm items. If conditions allow, buy some special ski clothing from stores selling them under the snowy mountains. Choose soft materials that are comfortable to wear in the snowy mountains.
Most people travel to the snowy mountains for skiing, so carrying good quality skiing tools is recommended. Skiing is an exciting game, but it's also full of danger, so before you start, make sure to equip yourself with essential gear, such as hats, knee pads, gloves, and other tools.
The scenery of the snowy mountains is very beautiful, and you can choose to carry a camera or video camera to capture the stunning views. You can also carry some high-energy snacks, such as chocolate and compressed cookies, to replenish your energy. These small snacks are relatively light and easy to carry.
If you want to try climbing, here are some recommendations. Bring a helmet, headlamp, master lock (a special locking device consisting of a metal ring and a spring door that can spring back, quickly and reversibly connecting various parts, and ensuring two-way locking), flat belt, and harness. With the main lock, flat belt, and safety belt, you can form a decent protection system, even if you miss a step. Ice picks are also essential, especially when brakes are needed, and ice claws are useful for walking in the snow.
In outdoor trekking to the snowy mountains, there are usually camps at the bottom of the mountain for cooking and accommodation, so tents, sleeping bags, and moisture mats are unnecessary. For two-day hiking routes, focus on lightweight equipment.
