- Avoid high-elevation trails without traction devices - frozen surfaces persist in shade all day.
- Avoid exposed ridgelines, small boats and rooftop viewpoints while gusts stay above 52 mph.
- Avoid swimming outside patrolled areas - waves are running at 2.5 m.
- If your dates are flexible, avoid May, June and July - historically the least comfortable months here.
