Warnings Or Dangers: Beware of altitude sickness

  • Valle Nevado is high. Some people suffer from altitude sickness. You may be affected without even knowing that's what's making you feel kind of blah. For example, I didn't realize at first that my nagging headaches were altitude-related.

    If your altitude sickness is relatively mild, like mine was, you just need to take it easy at first, but don't try to sleep it off. It's better to stay at one altitude and engage in light activities while you acclimate. If you feel really sick, you will need to go down.

     Breckinridge in July! ;-] Many of the same caveats apply here as in Colorado during the other season. You include everything here a person needs to continue that endless downhill blast! Super.

     My first and only time skiing was great fun, but I had a bad headache from the first fall onward. Didn't know anything about altitude sickness at the time. Good tips!
