<strong>How</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>remain</strong> <strong>safe</strong> on mountains
this winter
Winter had definitely come this time around and other people would like <strong>to</strong> celebrate
the holiday season with some challenge by climbing up mountains. There are a lot of
individuals who are very ardent about outdoor activities and winter can be an additional
challenge <strong>to</strong> their passion. But with every venture you’re going <strong>to</strong> take, <strong>Irwin</strong> <strong>Consulting</strong>
<strong>Services</strong> would like you <strong>to</strong> always make sure of your own <strong>safe</strong>ty and of other people
around you.
Your friends, colleagues or whole family could take on different activities on snowy
mountains such as snowshoeing, skiing, or other related activities. But local authorities
would like <strong>to</strong> remind people <strong>to</strong> be equipped with proper equipment and skills before
climbing <strong>to</strong> survive any unprecedented events on the mountains.
Make sure that the place is <strong>safe</strong> and open, and also suitable for your health or fitness
level. Inform some relatives or close friends about the location of your excursion
including the estimated time and date of your return as well as the instance when they
should call for help.
It is often advised <strong>to</strong> climb mountains in a group of two or more <strong>to</strong> have the injured
treated by the other and take care of him or her in case of an emergency. But if you’re
going solo, bring materials necessary for your survival and always ready your phone for
emergency contact.
You don’t want <strong>to</strong> be trapped in the dark at mountains so carry with you a number of
light sources which depends on how many nights and days you’re planning <strong>to</strong> camp or
stay in the mountain. <strong>Irwin</strong> <strong>Consulting</strong> <strong>Services</strong> encourages you <strong>to</strong> be fully prepared for
the dark because it might bring some dangers <strong>to</strong> you that are unknown during the
daylight.
Don’t panic once you noticed that you’re already lost, but instead collect your thoughts
and keep yourself warm. Rescuers can be riding a helicopter so see <strong>to</strong> it that you’re
visible from the sky. In case there’s an urgent emergency don’t wait until it gets dark <strong>to</strong>
call for help. The earlier the better because this will provide rescuers more time <strong>to</strong> get
in<strong>to</strong> you while the sun is still up.
In the United States, you can still reach 9-1-1 even without any signal on your phone
because the system will activate any cell <strong>to</strong>wer. Never begin an adventure outside your
home with a low bat phone since you needed <strong>to</strong> secure a fully charged phone in order <strong>to</strong>

contact help in case of emergencies. If possible, bring a satellite phone with you since
there can be a scenario where you can be trapped in a place with no cell service at all.
Unfortunately, an avalanche can happen while you’re climbing a snowy mountain so
equip yourself with avalanche <strong>safe</strong>ty equipment such as a transceiver, probe, shovel, and
the knowledge on how <strong>to</strong> use them properly. In order <strong>to</strong> mitigate avalanche exposure,
learn how <strong>to</strong> navigate through the terrain.
<strong>Irwin</strong> <strong>Consulting</strong> <strong>Services</strong> understands the passion that’s within you in taking the
challenge of climbing snowy mountains or simply doing mild activities with the whole
family this winter and holiday season, thus the group would only like you <strong>to</strong> be
committed <strong>to</strong> ensuring everyone else’s <strong>safe</strong>ty in this endeavor.
