Please Note: The weather will be anywhere between 30 in the day to 5 below at night (excluding wind chill factors) 

Although every night we will be in well-heated lodges and cabins we will be,

• Hunting for the northern lights, which means we will be outdoors for sometime at below zero temp.
• BBQing nightly (right outside the cabin).
• Outdoor bonfires and kumzitz under the billion star studded sky. 

…. therefore, the key is to dress in layers – that you can put on or take off as needed.

   7. Warm sweatshirt, sleeping and/ or lounge clothing and footwear for lodge.
   8. Bathing suit, robe and crocs for hot tub and sauna.
   9. Goggles for a Snocross helmet (ski googles that are on the smaller side, will work, preferably not dark lenses. Also if you have, bring 2 goggles).
