Winter adventures present a lot of opportunities for things to go wrong. Whether it’s the snow, or the cold, or the short days, if you’re not 100 percent prepared, it would be easy for a winter adventure to turn into a winter misadventure. And, even if they don’t end up in a shiver bivy, rescue, or injury, we all have those stories of winter trips gone wrong. We want to hear your story! What happened and what would you do differently the next time? Or did you swear off winter hiking for good? Share a story with us about your worst winter trip for for the chance to have it featured on goEast this Friday—and to win a $25 gift card if we do publish it!
