The Experience
Before You Go
Dress in moisture‑wicking layers
Bring a warm base layer and insulated outerwear even though thermal suits are provided—layers trap heat and let you adjust during activity.
Protect batteries and lenses

Follow ice safety briefings
Always stay on marked routes and listen to the guide when moving onto frozen lakes—ice conditions can vary locally.
