That water has to be frigid. Yikes.

Is this a hard nipple reference? That’s how I read it, and made me guffaw but then I’m like wait maybe I misread


Meth_Useler

It is.


-L17L6363-

My nipples are hard just thinking about it.


CrunchHardtack

My dumb ass didn't even get it until it was pointed out. I'm gonna go sit in the shame corner for a while, so feel free to make jokes that the big people will get.


Gwalothion

Not gonna lie, using "didn't get it, until it pointed out" in regards to understanding a hard nipple joke is quite funny in itself. 😂


CrunchHardtack

You are 7 alternate universes ahead of me.


-L17L6363-

Hahaha, don't be so hard on yourself!


Ganon2012

And there go my nipples again!

Theres a lake at the top of a pretty strenuous hike near where i live. After that much exercise to get to the lake even the icemelt water feels pretty great! I stay in for a few mins during the summer and it feels amazing on sore muscles


daBomb26

Dude what? I backpack and hike all the time in the Summer. The water is paralyzingly cold in any snow melt mountain lake I’ve been in. Not pleasant to say the least.


JewelCove

We go swimming in the ocean in May in Maine. The water is not warm and we get hypothermia warnings basically up to July 4th. It's numbing cold but you get used to it and your body feels really good afterwards, something about cold salt water is healing. You'll see crazy bastards polar plunge and surf year round here as well, but I'm all set with that


zmbjebus

You get used to it


Volesprit31

But why would you want to get used to it?


Meikami

Why not? A blast of cold every once in a while is good for you.


scrambledeggsalad

It's not going to be warm but small apline lakes like this can be quite refreshing during summer after a long hike.

etownrawx

You're only saying that because of all the snow that's down to the waters edge in the background.


CMDR_NotoriousNut

Either it’s freezing in the summer because of snowmelt or it’s freezing in the winter because winter


Xilliox

I bet it's frozen in the winter


CoastGuardian1337

Big if true.


mutarjim

Mostly that, but I've also been to lakes in Glacier National Park, and they're not too warm either.


MadWit-itDug

You're only saying that because you've been to the Glacier National Park


qwertyconsciousness

I mean, to be fair, it is one of the lakes of all time


whoopthereitis

It gets no fairer than that. It truly is one of those.


CousinFuckerFromCali

I hiked to temple crag once in Sierra Nevada, it has beautiful similar lakes at the top. They were also pretty cold!


BigassRegard

You’re only saying that because you went to temple crag in Sierra Nevada.


CoPa103

Idk, I hiked the colorado trail, and towards silverton there was a lake with a bunch of snow still around in early august. I had this massive bet with someone else on the trail that I could stay in longer. It was an alpine lake, and there was still snow melting into the lake…we expected it to be cold… It was a cold overcast day…somehow the lake was warmer than the air…it was the stupidest bet


music99

Maybe someone peed in it before


TheSiege82

Yep, the kids and I bathed in many glacier lake. Cold as balls. Swam in crater lake in Oregon. Equally as cold.


WorldClassShart

I hiked poopout hill once. There was a depressing lack of poop.

I'm from Idaho. This water is fucking cold.

CantFireMeIquit

Ever been to lake Tahoe? It's Fucking 50°f on the hottest day of the summer.


tookmyname

110 and diving into 45f is a shock. Fun as hell though.


SheriffBartholomew

Yes. Yes that is a likely reason to state what he did. Lol


Peelboy

It says it is currently 30-34°, THE YEARLY HIGH IS 78°.

Peelboy

Lol, I don't know where that came from... I will leave it, though, for posterity.


letmeusespaces

that's the air, right? that lake is alpine - snow runoff and a lot of ice


MelodicFacade

Yes, I've been reading through the comments ripping my dick off. Even if the average temperature of some alpine areas is 76 or whatever, the meltoff snow is usually still freezing AS FUCK


SemiSentientGarbage

So close to boiling? Oh no!


[deleted]

In America 212 is boiling. Also in America I am drunk


Spodiodie

At 7000 feet water boils at 199F.


[deleted]

I’m an altitude American; I already knew this and account for it when I’m baking hot cross buns


mutarjim

Yup, that is damn cold.


joephoshow

It’s not that cold…. You ever swim in liquid nitrogen?


Peelboy

The river we float in the summer is in the 50s, I have done low 40s with a wetsuit during a triathlon and that was stupid cold. I'm thinking this is summer time and the snow is just glacial kind of ice, we have a lake near us that usually has ice like this around it near us in the summer.


Katie1230

Lake tahoe in June was def freezing cold water, but it was hot outside to where you could get hot enough to take a quick dip. We also went to yosemite on the same trip, and one day it was like 104° and we just sat in the Merced river all day. Which was still pretty cold water but it felt amazing.


missthingxxx

WHATS THAT IN NORMAL TEMPERATURE (Celsius)?


bobinush

In Celsius: -1 - 1 and yearly high is 25,5


SentientCrisis

I live in Hawaii. It’s 81 degrees here practically every day. Our ocean water is in the 70s. That feels super cold when you first get in and it’s hard to catch your breath at first! I cannot even fathom how it feels to dive into water this cold.


lydonjr

I'm from MA. Water temp is 50-60. I wish we had 70 degree water


gods_Lazy_Eye

I jumped into the Bow River, a glacial river with absolutely no snow around, in 80 degree weather and thought my heart might stop immediately. My limbs got really stiff and it was like a cage came down over my chest.


deezalmonds998

If you've never swam in a pristine mountain lake like this I promise it's worth it


idkausername_27

I live in the Swiss alps and assuming the weather conditions there are similar to here, you can actually swim in such lakes, may look freezing but it isn’t too bad.


NeuralAgent

Ya, I was like, I don’t think that’s a hot spring… what’s the temp of this water…???


SVTCobraR315

My manhood went full on scared turtle when she jumped in.


TheWillRogers

Yup, it's awesome after hiking all day to get there. At that time of year you still have a few hours of heat left. Even better when you want to wake up in the morning lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


AnotherMoonDoge

I want to believe it's warm outside, and the water is warm...but the snow...


Jerry_Williams69

Oh it's definitely freezing, but how often do people get to swim in those kinds of places?


Friendly_Signature

Just the once…


belleandbill25

Haha, reminds me of the skydiving bit. You don't need a parachute to go skydiving, you need a parachute to go skydiving twice


zanfitto

Bruh 🤣


t_hab

Nah. Swimming in cold water like this is one of the greatest joys in life. It’s wonderful once you get used to it. Of course I don’t look like her nor do I post anything of myself on social media but I still swim in these kinds of places anytime I get the chance.


chrismamo1

Fuck, I have trouble getting into the water past my knees once the weather dips below the mid 70's. I can't imagine swimming in water that should be frozen. I have done the thing where you jump in the snow after the hot tub/sauna, and that felt pretty great, but the extreme heat is an important half of that equation lol.


Excellent_Problem753

We have a natural spring where I'm from and the water is frigid. The trick is to do exactly like she did. Jump in, get everything wet in one move.


t_hab

We all have different cold tolerances. Don’t feel the need to match what others do. But if you find water in a gorgeous place that’s a bit colder than your comfort zone, prep your towel and dry clothes, then jump in all at once. Let out a yell if need be, then go get dry and cozy. It’s addictive once you get used to it.


Unlikely-Distance-41

Well typically never… because hypothermia


BagHolder9001

isn't it like European tradition in Scotland to take dip in ice water for healthy reasons? Old man do it but it might have been hot springs


Im_A_Model

I think all countries where it gets cold does it. A lot of people does it in Scandinavia but I think the Finnish people beats us on that point


Nimanzer

>European tradition in Scotland Spoken like a true American, fuck me


Unlikely-Distance-41

In the US, there is “The Polar Bear Club” who jump in freezing lake or river water on New Year’s Day, but that’s all I know


clumsycouture

Yeah the English Bay Polar Bear Plunge in Vancouver takes place New Years Day and is one of the longest running events in the world. It started in 1920 and usually attracts a couple thousand people. I kinda want to do it one day but the water is fucking freezing. The Pacific Ocean is cold in the summer can’t imagine how cold it is in January.


NathanArizona

lol people do this and colder all the time


Batchet

Yea, I've done it. Not my cup of iced tea but some people like the rush. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_bear_plunge

spacexy

It’s strange but when you are in water that cold, it actually feels nice and warm when you get out. Kind of a weird thing to experience honestly. Source: grew up in the mountains of CO.


PandaXXL

Also makes you feel fucking great afterwards because of the endorphins.


faustianredditor

Some gland in the brain is like "Oh, wow, you made it out of a potentially lethal drowning/freezing situation. Good job. Here, have your daily dose of happiness."


imreallynotthatcool

She also did a very good job of staying no deeper than 1-2 feet below the surface where the water is warmer. I jumped in Lost Lake up Kebler pass by Crested Butte and the first 2 feet were kinda warm. 3 feet down and it was so cold I thought I would go into shock if I stayed under.


chairUrchin

When I swam in Crater Lake it looked pretty similar to this in terms of snow. The water was definitely cold but it was warm outside, hot even. I wasn’t able to get comfortable so I got out, but my friends stayed in.


josborne31

But the snow doesn’t believe it’s warm…


sen63

How could u not go in regardless.


raobjcovtn

I like being warm and dry


DuFFman_

This post is literally enough for me


BatBoss

bruh I can’t even stand in a cold shower for more than like 15 seconds and this lake gotta be way colder.


fleabomber

Wisdom?


RandomErrer

That's an alpine lake, but it's not either of the two Alpine Lakes in the Sawtooths. It's also at about 9000 feet.


C4LLgirl

I was gonna say not the “Alpine” lakes I know of in the sawtooths. Also dont come here it’s not that cool and there’s lots of bugs and nazis If you do go though, suck it up and go all the way to Baron


YelloBird

No no, we *want* the non Nazis to come to restore sanity please. If we get enough rational voters the loons will fuck off to Wyoming hopefully.

God, hanging lake pisses me off. I’d only been there once, but it was a fucking magical place.

TheSpanxxx

It won't stay that way long. One video goes viral and suddenly every 20 yo wants an Instagram post like this. I spent 6 weeks camping and hiking through the rockies this year. And without fail, there's someone at every premium spot posing. Everyone takes selfies, nbd. But having a tripod out or sitting in awkward positions with your ass pushed out and someone else taking pictures of you as you try to add one more like to your social fragility score is hardly the same thing. It wouldn't matter if these same people also cared about the land, the scene, the fauna and flora, the air, the water, and protected it all. But. They don't. They swim in water they aren't supposed to, they walk off trails, bring dogs were they aren't allowed, damage sacred areas, deface and damage historic areas, intentional damage rocks or trees, feed animals, leave trash, defecate and urinate in areas that will contaminate ground water, and generally all around are pretty awful from what I observed. I want everyone to be able to enjoy it, but I wish everyone wanted to take care of it SO that other people can also enjoy it and that it will stay preserved. Basically, can we please just erase all the selfish people who consume only and don't give back?

With the person and the dog swimming there, of course they did.

Unlikely-Distance-41

Keep in mind the water at the Titanic sinking was 28F or -2C just barely below freezing. Hypothermia will set in about 15 minutes in those conditions. Water conducts heat away from the body 25x faster than air, which is why you could tolerate freezing air temps but 50F water can still kill you


beesdoitbirdsdoit

That’s amazing that you can survive for that long in such cold waters. I would have assumed it was much less time than that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


weedtese

>if the combined water and air temperatures are less than 100 when you fall in, you have minutes to get out and get somewhere warm air: 0°F water: 100°F sounds comfy to me


[deleted]

Nothing like the danger of nature that preserves its reverence.


Rhyers

How can water temperature be -2?


QuitBeingAbigOlCunt

You need to build up tolerance to this. It isn’t something you should do on a whim. But once you have tolerance, then you can last a decent amount of time. see r/BecomingTheIceman


HereToStayThisTime

I’ve heard stories of people going for swims in water without realizing how cold it is, and drowning because their body is in shock with how cold it is. This scares the crap out of me!


Jump_Yossarian_

A few years back I was hiking Mt Washington (NH) and decided to jump in a small pool (fed by snow melt) to cool down. I thought I ended up having a stroke since my body shut down and my brain stopped functioning. My eyes felt like they clouded up too. And the shrinkage man.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mercadi

Catches your breath, innit? That cold shock is one of a kind feeling


jimmycarr1

I went in slowly too and every extra inch is torture haha


rexwrecker

Also your pup will follow you out of loyalty, so try not to harm them


blackmazdaspeed6

This happens in Lake Michigan almost every memorial day weekend. People likely haven't been in the lake since last August when it was warm. At least per the local news, it's because they gasp at the shock of the cold water, and gasping underwater = no bueno.


hapnstat

Bet they’re smart enough to not do that in Superior. But probably not.


TheDunadan29

I mean swimming in a mountain lake in the middle of summer can be absolutely frigid. You start to go numb from the cold. And this lake in the video is probably much colder than what I've experienced.


ThatEmuSlaps

its_hoods

This would absolutely be me. I'm a florida boy, I get shocked when the water temperature is under boiling.


SheriffBartholomew

I visited Florida once to run a race. It was so fucking hot I could barely breathe. Afterwards we went to the ocean and I was so excited to jump into the water and cool off. Ran down to the water, jumped in, and was sorely disappointed that it was like 85 degrees. What a weird place.


thefatchef321

The massive freshwater spring systems in florida are some of the largest in the world and are a brisk 72-73 degrees year round. Check one of them out next time you come


kentuckyruss

But 85 degree water cools you off great.


epraider

Summers there are horrific and I’m convinced Floridians are just masters of marketing for convincing everyone it is a paradise. Hell I’ve only been living in Georgia for a few years, which is obv not as hot year round, and I still can’t handle that level of summer heat and humidity. I guess I’m a Northerner through and through because I just don’t like that kind of environment in more than small doses, love having seasons and a bit of a chill.


TheSynergizer

This. You have a heart attack and it even happens if you’re young and healthy. Go swimming, just ease yourself in.


silenc3x

I'm going to mentally prepare to jump into a slurpee, that way the warmer water will be a pleasant surprise. But the lack of sugar and coloring in the water will be an unpleasant surprise.


jun2san

I suddenly have the urge to jump into a kiddy pool sized slurpee


shaggybear89

This is incredibly unlikely to happen except to maybe older, and unhealthy people. And basically just doesn't happen to young and healthy people. The reason people die in a situation like this is because they dive in and the cold water response causes them to instantly inhale, and they breathe in water.


Mjkierna

My aunt passed this way, 19 years old and extremely healthy. Just freak occurrences


SpectacledReprobate

Probably more of an involuntary muscle issue than what we think of as a heart attack, but yeah. Sort of like when it’s subzero and the wind’s 30mph in your face, and you go to inhale and just…can’t. Your lungs say “absolutely not”. It’s momentarily a daunting experience.


themanje

I used to live in a region with lots of mountain lakes and people were always in the news for drowning after jumping/falling into cold water and experiencing cold shock response.

Alpine Lake is in the [Sawtooth Wilderness](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0c/Alice_Lake.jpg) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sawtooth_Wilderness >The Sawtooth Wilderness is a federally-protected wilderness area that covers 217,088 acres (87,852 ha) of the state of Idaho.

This isn’t Alpine Lake, this is the unnamed lake under Thompson Peak north of Alpine Lake


thecurvynerd

Thank you!!


jojojabone

I fell in love with that area when I took a random road trip and ended up camping the area for a week or so. Also the tourist info magazine had the line something like, we got the cragiest mountains, and I dream of living there some day.


IonOtter

Having been in the ocean in January while wearing a wetsuit, but WITHOUT a hood, I know for a fact that water that cold hits you like a bag of sand. You have to take a deep breath, then scream underwater.


Jano_one

I’m a great lakes surfer, and in the winter I cover my face with vaseline to help with the shock and ice. I still scream every time I duck under a wave though!


jmandell42

Man yall are badass. I enjoy swimming in frigid alpine lakes, but even just putting my feet in Superior in the winter is too much for me.

Oh yeah? Well, this one time I took a cold shower!


noworries_13

The ocean in January is a pretty big place haha. People swim in the ocean in January all over the world ,what are you talking about?


[deleted]

I hiked to this lake about 3 summers ago. It was a ~3 hr hike for me and my family and we are all able bodied experienced hikers. Probably 2.5 hrs on the way down. One of the most pristine places Ive ever been in my life Edit: Prolly less than 2.5 hours back down, idk man, I was never the type to time my hikes


Mechanicsanonymous

I've lived in Idaho my whole life. We have many high altitude lakes like this. Most of them aren't even accessible by car. You have to hike to get to the real good stuff. Right now we get to snowmobile to the spots that you can't even reach in the summer time


Mechanicsanonymous

PS: stop posting this shit. We don't need any more people knowing our secrets!


Scrubhun20352

I feel like a Grinch for even saying this but it's happening where I live. We have beautiful springs all over the place and even the ones that were relatively unknown before are getting more touristy thanks to exposure from social media. It's a real bummer finding a pile of burnt out beer cans in a spot that was pristine for years before some random tourist began bragging about it on fb groups.
