Here's a friendly tip:
Wear jeans instead of shorts when you decide to go up into the snow.
I was out playing with my dog yesterday and decided to take him up into the snow on Mt. Hood. Yeah, it was a bit cold out and I was wearing shorts but hey, no biggie....
Until you fall through the snow which has a layer of ice on it and you scrape the hell out of your leg. I'm still pretty sore from this. It's a lot worse than it looks.
Not exactly the smartest thing I have ever done.
