Don't eat the yellow snow, and more you need to know how to Aspen in the winter!
Dress Properly
Dress in layers to stay warm outside and comfortable inside
Wear shoes with tread to not slip on snow and ice
Wear a warm hat, gloves, and scarf
Avoid slipping while crossing icy streets
Add stabilizers to your shoes, such as Yaktrax, to give you more traction.
Take your hands out of your pocket to catch yourself in case you fall.
Leave the stilettos with no tread at home.
Give cars extra time to stop on icy roads before you step into the crosswalk.
Avoid taking photos while standing in the middle of a street. We know it can seem like a perfect shot, but those cars driving down the road may not be able to stop quickly on the icy streets.
Drive Safely
Clean the snow off your car before driving:
Make sure all the windows are clear of snow and ice. Keep two scrapers in your car so your passenger can help out.
Don’t miss the roof! When your car warms up and you hit the brakes that heavy hunk of snow will slide onto your windshield blocking visibility.
Drive with caution
Roads can be snow covered, icy, or slushy.
Check conditions before hitting the roads. Even fall and spring can bring snowstorms.
Make sure your vehicle has winter tires or chains
Wear Sunscreen
Aspen is sunny, even in the winter, and the sun is strong. Wear SPF on any skin that is exposed - especially your face and hands.
Stay Hydrated
Drink lots of water. The high altitude and cold temperatures can be dehydrating.
Lather on hand lotion - your hands get dryer in the cold air
Check Weather Conditions
The weather can change rapidly. Be prepared for snowstorms and drops in temperature.
