Traction

Snow is falling in the Anchorage Bowl tonight and I want to take a moment to remind parents to check their footwear when heading outside wearing or carrying their little ones. Cleats, yak tracks and studded sneakers are important this time of year when the freeze/thaw cycle is in full swing creating glare ice. Your center of gravity is already distorted when wearing or carrying your child and those munchkins completely rely on your balance to stay safe. Make sure your shoes have traction to prevent slipping and falling.
