• Pay attention to your face. Use sun-protection cream, even if it is cloudy or foggy weather.
• In a fog do not remove your mask. You will not see better but you can hurt your sight. In a fog the ultraviolet operates on eyes from different directions, and not just from above, as it is in a clear weather.
• It is necessary to remember that there are moving chaotic people around. There is a traffic rule on a slope: who is behind, that is guilty.
• During slope do not look at your hands or feet. You should look only forward, only there where you plan to finish.
• Being in mountains, in cold and dry climate, drink more to avoid organism dehydration.
