And the old man wasn't just rambling or lost-he had a damn point. If you start a tour wearing minimal layers and are already feeling cold (which, given the current conditions will likely require a certain degree of bravery), then your body will warm itself up as you shed calories hiking up the hill. This will prevent you from overheating, and keep you more comfortable on the way up.
Beginning this winter, AirFlare will support the Snow Angel Foundation's collision-prevention and safety-training initiatives by providing complimentary annual app subscriptions to Snow Angel staff, volunteers, partners, and employees at ski areas where Snow Angel delivers training. AirFlare will also elevate Snow Angel messaging across its network of ski area clients and participate in on-mountain safety events to help guests "Ride Another Day."
Travizano was climbing the mountain solo and joined two other climbers that he met on the ascent, Meyers said. After the three climbers successfully summited Mount Shasta, two climbers, including Travizano, lost their way and wandered off route during the descent. That afternoon, clouds moved across the upper mountain and limited visibility, Meyers said. There are several routes that converge on Shasta's summit plateau, so if someone is not familiar with the terrain and they're not using navigation tools, when visibility is poor, they can go down the mountain the wrong way.
