How to move on snow

Snow is dangerous by the unpredictability when there is a lot of it and you are in the area other than habitual streets of your city. It is useful to know some important points at movement on snow.

Instruction

1. Except the legs use as well other points of support, such, for example, as the ice axe or ski sticks. And also avoid movement in those places where snow is impregnated with moisture stronger. The snow hollow, circus, the trough belong to such sites.

2. Don't step on snow about speakers of stones as stones are heated quicker, and surrounding snow quickly melts. Besides, having failed during snow about the stone, there is the risk to be traumatized.

3. Move gliding steps. For this purpose slightly raise socks of legs and move legs so that they slid on snow cover.

4. On especially dangerous and failing sites press through snow on some depth and then stamp it before yourself. Continue to perform these operations as you move forward and you won't pass the dangerous site. If before you the deep snow failure, then the best decision is it to bypass. If it is impossible to bypass this failure for any reasons, then extremely carefully go down and as much as possible arrange well the failure. Bring down snow from walls and stamp it. Thereby you reduce depth of the failure and will make it less dangerous. You leave the failure, leaning on the stick or the ice axe.

5. If you failed during snow, then put the stick or the ice axe and lean on it, try to pull out the leg. If the leg got stuck, be not shaken at all, don't bend and don't unbend it in the knee. It you will stamp the snow surrounding the leg. Delay the sock as if you get up on tiptoe, and it will be easier for you to pull out the leg. If on you footwear which easily is removed then be undressed, and then you will dig out footwear.

6. Don't shake out snow and don't pour out water of footwear in places of which you aren't sure that they are reliable. And if you somewhere nearby see the shadow, then leave there as there snow cover will be more dense.
