9 rules for safe ice skating<\/h2>\n\n\n

First and foremost: safe ice skating is of paramount importance when venturing out in the great outdoors. There’s a reason the saying goes, ‘On thin ice.’ Together with Salten Outdoor Council, we’ve compiled some valuable advice to take seriously before embarking on your ice skating adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Ensure the ice is at least 10 cm thick.<\/strong> This is the standard rule for safe ice. Ice on water always has cracks, which you should keep an eye on to assess thickness (the most dangerous ice is the one without cracks). If you’re uncertain, carry a small ice axe and strike it ahead of you to test the ice (this prevents the ice from breaking around you). If you’re sure the ice is at least 10 cm thick, it’s safe..<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Check ice warnings on nve.no<\/a> for the latest updates for the entire country.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Never go alone; skate with others while maintaining some distance. It’s a good practice to have the most experienced or heaviest person leading the way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Carry ice picks around your neck, which you can use to pull yourself out in case of an accident. These are available at sports stores for a reasonable price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Bring a throw line (a rope with a floating device) in case you need to help a friend out of the ice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Pack extra clothing in a waterproof bag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Protect your mobile phone by placing it in a waterproof bag if it’s not waterproof itself.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. If you fall through the ice, the rule without exception is to move back the way you came when pulling yourself back up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Wear a helmet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Bring a headlamp in case it gets dark.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
