Aotaina Snow Mountain is closed for the season｜Practical guide for next year

Although Aotaina is closed for the season, I can't help but share it! After all, the closure period is the perfect time to do your homework and plan your trip for next year! If you also dream of challenging a snow mountain, be sure to save this note! Aotaina Snow Mountain is 5,210 meters above sea level, with moderate difficulty and stunning scenery. It is one of the sister peaks of Siguniang Mountain. For people like me who have some outdoor experience but are not professional players, it is a perfect choice! Plus, it's close to Chengdu, so you can go on the weekend, and it's super cost-effective! ⁉Tips: Don't underestimate the weather! The weather in the snow mountain changes very quickly, with sunshine one moment and snow the next, so be sure to keep warm! Choosing the right guide is important! If you're climbing a snow mountain for the first time, it's recommended to find a reliable outdoor team. The guide will help you plan the route, prepare equipment, and take care of your condition at any time. Don't bring too much stuff! Only bring essentials in your backpack: energy bars, headlamps, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Extra weight will really slow you down, especially when you're climbing to the top. Stay calm! Don't rush to the top, walk slowly at your own pace, and safety first. Tips for beginners⚠: Exercise in advance Be sure to try on your gear, especially your hiking boots Don't be afraid of altitude sickness, adapt slowly, and stay calm Find a reliable teammate or team, mutual encouragement is important Notes The weather in the mountains is unpredictable, so equipment is very important: Trekking poles, headlamps, crampons, snow gaiters, raincoats, masks, sunglasses, emergency blankets Upper body: warm and quick-drying, fleece, down liner, jacket, raincoat Lower body: quick-drying, warm, fleece-lined pants or single pants, waterproof hiking boots (the snow is very thick and long walks will get wet if not waterproof) trekking poles (climbing, descending to relieve leg pressure) The weather is very cold, so bring a thermos with some hot water and food that can quickly replenish energy, such as Snickers and chocolate
