Every winter there are a few cold snaps that cause the temperature to plummet. When it’s bitterly cold and sub-zero temps set in, it can be hard to motivate to go outside to ski, hike, or even walk the dogs. If you want to play in the great outdoors despite the cold weather, you need to know how to prevent frostbite.
9 Tips For Staying Warm When It’s Cold Outside
Frostbite is an injury that is caused by exposure to cold. It causes your body tissues to freeze, typically affecting your fingers, toes, hands, cheeks, ears, and nose. In severely cold temperatures combined with wind, frostbite can happen in a matter of minutes. This isn’t meant to deter you from enjoying Big Sky’s backyard, but it is important that you are aware of this potentially serious cold injury.
If you get frostbite, seek medical attention ASAP. Contact Big Sky Ski Patrol or visit the hospital in the Big Sky Town Center. Frostbite is treatable if you catch it early. Learn how to treat frostbite at MayoClinic.org and WebMD.com.
