One of the best things about being invited to a winter wedding in the Canadian Rockies is the opportunity to enjoy an exciting array of winter activities; skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, even a winter sleigh ride in a snow-laden landscape!

So, you’ve received your invite…now, what to pack? Well, if you’re used to winter dressing you know just what to bring…down jacket, good boots, mitts, scarf and toque. If  you’ve never experienced a Canadian winter, this can be daunting…what’s a toque right?

The key to dressing for activities in the Rockies is staying warm! It’s great to be fashionable, but chic city fashion just won’t work in the mountains! Mountain chic means warm and functional!

Warmth starts with a great jacket and you will never go wrong with a down-filled jacket or vest!

A great wool jacket works perfectly for shopping or walking around the lodge. Warm materials like corduroy, denim and of course flannel are good choices!

You may also want to consider bringing along a great pair of slippers for the lodge as well as some hand-warmers for your pockets!
