1. Script
If you're hiking in the Sierras this summer, you'll definitely be seeing some snow. So, here are a couple of tips for hiking in the snow:
Trekking Poles: These are great for extra stability and can prevent slips and falls. Just make sure you know how to use them. Interestingly, you can even use trekking poles in place of an ice ax to self-arrest if you slip off the trail.
Micro Spikes: When hiking over large patches of snow or ice, you may want to wear micro spikes. This is a cover that goes on over your shoes and adds some extra traction.
Timing: It's best to hike in the early morning while the snow is hard. Once the sun starts to melt the snow, it becomes slippery, and you're more likely to post hole. Post holing is when you break through the top layer of hard snow, sinking to your knee or sometimes all the way to your waist.
Navigation: Make sure you have good route-finding and navigation skills because you may not be able to see the trail. It's not a great idea to rely on the footprints of others. So, ensure you have a GPS and a paper map handy.
Fun Tip: To make things a little more fun, I recommend wearing rain pants so you can go glissading, which is basically sledding on your butt.
Stay safe and happy trails!

3. My story
Two years ago in winter, I took a trip to Jeju Island. Eager to hike up Mt. Hanlla, I did some research the day before. To prevent slips and falls, I reserved essential hiking equipment in place of my usual gear. It's best to start early, I'd read, so I set out at 6 am. The journey all the way to the summit took six hours, and the sight of Baengnokdam, blanketed in snow, was truly breathtaking. I learned not to rely on just the marked trails, as nature often has its own path to show. The entire hike took 11 hours, becoming the most unforgettable experience of my trip.
