While most visitors to Jackson Hole do not suffer any medical problems from their visit to our high altitude, I hope the following information will help you have a safer and more enjoyable vacation to Jackson Hole.
ALTITUDE EFFECTS ON PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL PROBLEMS
The reduced amount of oxygen at altitude may have adverse effects on preexisting medical problems. New or increased symptoms such as shortness of breath and a rapid pulse may occur with heart and lung problems. Blood pressure may increase transiently and some may develop swelling in their feet and ankles. There are no easy guidelines for when medical assistance is necessary in these circumstances, but if you feel you need assistance call Dr. Bruce Hayse at 307-733-6700. His office is conveniently located at 269 West Broadway in Downtown Jackson.
DEHYDRATION
Dehydration occurs much more frequently in Jackson Hole than at lower elevations because our relative humidity is very low. Dehydration can sap one’s energy, cause headaches and effect athletic performance. The best rule of thumb is to drink enough fluid to cause the need to urinate every three hours. Take frequent water or fluid breaks during vigorous activities such as snowboarding, skiing, mountain biking, hiking and mountaineering.
ACUTE MOUNTAIN SICKNESS
Acute Mountain Sickness or AMS is a syndrome which can range from mild headaches to an incapacitating illness. Although it generally occurs when one sleeps at altitude above 8,000 feet, about 5% of Jackson Hole’s visitors will develop some symptoms. Frequent symptoms are headache, nausea, insomnia, fatigue, lack of appetite and light-headedness. Generally symptoms will improve with rest and fluids over 24 to 48 hours. There is a prescription medicine called Diamox which can help prevent AMS and other medications for symptomatic relief. Alcohol, tranquilizers, sleep medication and antihistamines may make Acute Mountain Sickness worse. Consult with a physician before using any of these drugs when suffering from AMS. AMS can progress into a much more serious illness known as High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE). This medical emergency is heralded by an incapacitating headache, neurological symptoms such as a “drunken” gait, and may proceed to a coma. Prompt emergency help is critical with HACE.
FROSTBITE
Frostbite is the actual freezing of the skin and underlying tissue. The most frequent areas affected are the fingers, toes, nose and cheeks. Frostbitten areas initially look white and then turn red. A purple hue to the skin usually means a more severe freezing problem. Most frostbitten extremities tingle or feel numb initially and hurt with rewarming. Seek medical attention if you suspect frostbite.
SUNBURN
High Altitude predisposes one to sunburn and snow blindness (sunburn of the eyes) because there is less atmosphere to filter out ultraviolet rays. Sun block / Sunscreen is mandatory for those with sensitive skin and should be used by all to prevent discomfort and aging effects of sunburn. In addition, sunscreen helps protect from the possible increased risk of skin cancer caused by excessive sun exposure. In winter as well as summer, wide - brimmed hats will help protect sensitive ear and exposed scalps. Snow blindness is prevented by wearing UV filtering sunglasses. Side panels which block reflected light are also helpful when on snow and water.
NOSE BLEEDS
Nose bleeds will also occure more frequently in Jackson Hole due to the dry air, perticularly in the early mornings. Using a vaporizer, Vaseline and avoiding colds will help prevent this problem. If a bleed occurs, pinching the nose for 5 to 10 minutes will usually stop the bleeding. If it does not stop, contact Dr. Bruce Hayse at 307-733-6700.
ALCOHOL
The effects of alcohol and other drugs are dramatically increased at altitude. At Jackson Hole’s elevation of 6,200 to 6,400 feet above sea level, the effect of alcohol will be approximately double for the seal level inhabitant. Also, hangovers will be worse at altitude. If you are going to consume alcohol, do it responsibly and drink plenty of water too!

This is a short video of Kim Young and me doing part of our Mountain Athlete workout (see below video for workout) today. I enjoyed having Kim to workout with. She works hard and is a talented and dedicated athlete. Additional comments that I sent to Rob Shaul, my Coach and the main man at Mountain Athlete are below.
If you are interested in strength training for your sport, whatever sport, check out Rob’s Blog at www.mtnathlete.com. He takes your questions about your sports and answers them. If he can’t answer them, he finds the answer from someone in his vast network.
Mountain Athlete (www.mtnathlete.com) recently opened up shop in Boulder, CO and is being headed up by Connie Sciolino, a smart, strong and outstanding coach with a strong medical background, who is married to a derelict and friend of mine…Tom (who has climbed the North Face of the Eiger!). So if you are in the Denver or Boulder area and looking for a different way to train or get stronger, go watch a session and see if you think it is for you! I love it!
“Kick in the Nuts, III”
10 Rounds
30 second hang
30 second burpees (If the athlete doesn’t get at least 8x, add a round)
10 Rounds
1 minute System Board Crimps
1 minute plank walk up
10 Rounds
1 mintute HIT Strip
Run 200m
Comments:
More brutal work for my climbers. I’m working to get them to the wall/system board/hang, etc., breathing hard.
Here’s what Stephen Koch had to say about “Kick in the Nuts III” -
“Thank you for today’s workout. I liked how it combined heart thumping cardio with hand and forearm training.
“During the latter rounds of the warm up I could hear my heart pumping after the burpees as I was on the hang board, and it was intense to hang on towards the end of the minute during the last two rounds.
“The crimp workout was absolutely perfect duration and intensity for me. I was very near failure at 50 seconds of the 10th round. And the planks were really wicked, especially the first couple rounds until warmed up!
“As you know I pretty much only run at Mountain Athlete due to all of my knee injuries. But I enjoyed the quick burst of a run around the building, into the sunshine and was able to push it throughout the 10 laps. The HIT strip was more mental than anything. I was thinking I needed to get on the system board until you said to just try, which I did. Thanks for that. It worked out well and I found my groove in the third or fourth round of the ten. It was intense jumping immediately from the run (running all the way to the HIT strips) onto the HIT strips. My blood was flowing nicely, to say the least!
“I find getting immediately into the next exercise without thinking about it or waiting for the clock to hit the next 5 or 10 second mark is better training, both physically but especially mentally. At some point I would like to do one of the timed workouts with Curtis P’s, where jumping immediately into the next exercise is very helpful for a lower time. Again…good mental training.
“Well, we finally have mostly clear skies and sunshine today for the first time in a month! So I look forward to a mountain bike ride later today, after the trails dry out.
“Thanks for the great workouts Coach!

Today, June 7th, is one of the most important in the entire Tibetan Buddhist calendar.
This whole lunar month is called Saka Dawa. It is the special month in which the Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana all occur. In particular, the full moon day, or 15th day (June 7th), marks one of the holiest days in all of Tibetan Buddhism. It is the day of the Buddha’s Enlightenment and parting into Nirvana.
It is auspicious to perform meritorious activities on this specific day. The merit generated from these virtuous activities increases 100,000-fold on this day in Saka Dawa.
It is a good day to commit to some extra practice, or to put up prayer flags, or to perform any meritorious act. Even making conscious wishes for the benefit of all sentient beings can have tremendous benefit.
Here is a suggestion for meritorious thoughts on this day:
Warmly,
Stephen Koch
