Hi fellow hiker,

 

Weather is one of the biggest factors that determines the success of your hike. One moment you may warmed by the sun, and the next, peppered with pellets of ice. It's important to have an accurate weather forecast so you are not caught in a compromising position.

 

Below, we've attached some links to important sources of weather and trail conditions information, as well as a video outlining how to protect yourself in a storm. We will talk more about mountain safety in a future email, but we've included two safety-related videos, as well, as a small preview.

 

 

Best regards,

Pygmy Elephant

    In addition to checking the links above, it is recommended to speak with the reception at your accommodation about weather. As they live in the area, they can provide a local's perspective on weather that the national services might not address.
