The strength of ultraviolet radiation on the snowy mountain is 2 to 3 times higher than the plain. If snow blindness become intensified, it leads to burns to one's eyes. Besides that, due to a lot of threats and dangers such as cold wind, microdusts and physical impact, a goggle is mandatory for winter-hiking. Also, a trekking poles is another important product. Because one can disperse energy in a balanced way on the entire body by using a trekking poles, stability of one's movement is ameliorated. Therefore, they can improve the ability of making a breakthrough rough terrain, controlling their breath and walking speed. A trekking pole is also greatly helpful for the climb during the winter. We are going to suggest setting up AI technology on Goggle and a trekking poles for mountianeers to climb snowy mountain more comfortably and easily. Sherpa in person can accompany with the mountaineers for more important missions, Artificially intelligent Sherpa allows mountaineers to rely less on Sherpa in person. The most expected functions for the Artificially intelligent Sherpa are checking weather and terrain, smooth digital communication and location tracking, flashlight, replacing digital lens and so on.
