Winter sports can be exciting, but it's essential to prioritise safety. Always wear appropriate gear, including helmets, goggles, and layers of warm clothing.

Start with lessons or guidance from professionals to learn proper techniques and minimise the risk of injury. Additionally, never go alone — enjoy winter sports with a buddy or in groups for added safety.
