Maybe if your skiing googles are appropriate ... hiking? I would really like to see that! Yes regular sunglasses in the winter look less funny.

I'm from Australia where snow isn't much of a thing. I've been in the snow of course, here and in NZ, but my snow experiences are quite limited so...Yeah, #clueless
Canada, I could give a course on snow! lol. I don't care for it much but it does some pretty incredible things. Walking on super clear window like ice of deep lakes is neat too. You can see all the fishies swim under your feet.
I want to do that...But if I fall in you have to promise to look after my crypto.
I promise I will...you wont fall tho, you can drive a truck on that ice, even set up a fishing cabin and sleep on it. The people that fall in are the ones on it when it's too thin or walking on shelf ice (ice with no water directly underneath). Ice is actually pretty strong. I promise you it will still be creepy no matter what. I have been doing it since I was a kid and it still freaks me out a lil
some of our northern communities ice roads are the only land access so transports actually drive on major lakes to bring them supplies before the ice road melts. Then only aircrafts can get there in the summer months.
I used to watch a show called Ice Road Truckers which was pretty cool - It's a different world from Australia really, all that snow and ice. It's funny as here we have signs in outback towns, right before the bitumen starts, that says drop dust here, a point where the road trains, sometimes 5 trailers long, stop and smack the shit out of their trailers to knock the bulk or dust and mud off before they enter the town so as not to drop it through the town. [These road trains often run for thousands of kilometres on dirt, through creeks and mud and all.]
Anyway, I feel better now I know you'll not let me fall through the ice and drift away downstream under the ice.
Ice road truckers, yes that's the type of stuff I'm talking about, it's a common enough thing here at least for the northern communities.
"Drop dust here" OMG that's a funny concept to me but I get it. I guess that would probably be like the warm country's equivalent of kicking the frozen car cruds off before leaving the lot in the winter.
Awwwe...don't worry, when I do stupid things I do it safely :D
Kicking car cruds sounds like fun. 🤪
Yeah, same really. If the road trains bring the mud and dust into the town's main street it means dust gets kicked up all the time and that would suck for the locals. It's common practice and truckers get fined for not doing it sometimes.
