If you aren't used to high altitude, here's a few tips to get ready for it and to avoid getting sick while in Breckenridge!

*Drink A LOT of water. If your pee is yellow that's a problem. If you aren't peeing like you normally do that's a much bigger problem. People tend to feel nauseous or get head aches if you aren't used to it.

*Come a day or so early to have time to adjust to the thinner air (in Denver).

*Be careful drinking the sweet adult nectar of life. What you can normally drink at sea level is NOT what you can drink at altitude. You will definitely feel the booze a lot quicker. Seriously, you won't be able to drink like you do at sea level.

*Try an altitude medication to help you adjust ( Try dexamethasone or Altigen).

*Symptoms: fatigue, loss of appetite, sleepiness, nausea, vomiting, rapid breathing, shortness of breath, fast heart rate, and a headache.

If you feel you are experiencing altitude sickness ask a mountain dweller and they will "diagnose" you. The best way to alleviate altitude sickness is to go to a lower altitude (Denver) as soon as possible.
