Children
are actually more susceptible to frostbites. That is because they are
not capable of holding on to body heat as adequately as adults.
Additionally, many kids do not recognize their body’s limits. They
might not feel the cold as much when they are having fun and might be
reluctant to head indoors even if it’s needed.
When skiing, always think about the possibility of your kids getting a frostbite and take precautionary measures in preventing this from occurring.
Of
course, making sure that your kids are properly garbed for the
weather is important. Go to Vancouver ski shops such as The
Destination to get skiing-appropriate clothes. These clothes are
designed to withstand colder temperature. Make sure the clothes are
water-proof. It’s also important to get proper footwear. The cold
can seep in the feet of your kids. Use the right thickness of socks
and boots that you can get from Ski
shops in Vancouver BC.
Checking
your weather app to determine wind chill can also be helpful. There
are times when weather applications will predict a colder weather but
when you go outside, it’s actually not as cold as it was predicted
to be. Use your common sense as your guide.
Also
take breaks from skiing. Avoid being exposed to the cold for a
prolonged period of time. Make sure your kids go indoors and take a
break or to eat before heading out again. Feed them with warm food
and warm drinks to keep their body temperature high. You can enjoy a
day out in the slopes without dealing with frostbites.
