Does trudging up a steep frozen trail at 1 mile per hour in sub-zero temperatures — taking off jackets and putting them back on again, while eating half-frozen protein bars — sound like your perfect winter day? Then chances are, you might enjoy winter hiking, available now at a trailhead near you. Whether it’s your first hike or your fifty-first, use this checklist to make sure you have all the gear you need for your next winter adventure.

Ranging from deep powder snow to thick ice, winter hiking conditions can even change from day-to-day on the same trail. Do your research beforehand so you know what to expect. A good practice is picking up the phone (yes, a phone call!)
