How to pack for your trip to Banff

There are so many opportunities for exciting outdoor adventures at the 2019 Leaders Conference. Whether you’re dog sledding, snowmobiling or skiing, we want to make sure you’re comfortable. We’ve put together the following packing list to help you prepare for the trip. Some of these items would be great to add to your holiday wish list!

For excursions and outdoor activities:

• Winter coat – look for something that’s recommended for performance wear, like Arc’teryx, REI or Patagonia.
• Snow pants
• Sweaters/sweatshirts
• Hats/earmuffs
• Scarves
• Gloves/mittens – look for something thin, warm and waterproof.
• Thick socks
• Snow boots – look for something warm, waterproof and easy to walk in. Cabela’s has great options.
• Moisture-wicking shirts and tights/pants (to wear as a base layer)
• Hand warmers
• Sunscreen
• Sunglasses
