What do I need to bring?Practical Information

Temperatures can easily be -5°C, but it’s a dry cold. Temperatures rise dramatically when the sun comes out, and snowshoeing is quiet strenuous, so you need lightweight layers that you can add or take-off quickly. Cotton t-shirts will stay wet and cold on your body; wicking moisture and breathable thermal clothing is best (polyester, merino wool, etc.).
As important as it is not to underdress for the weather, it’s also important not to overdress. Learn to listen to your body and anticipate your needs. Shed a layer BEFORE you start to overheat, and add a layer BEFORE you start to chill. And, always carry an extra layer of dry clothes and socks in your pack.

-Backpack.
-Mountain/Hiking boots or aprés ski boots. Warm socks.
–Breathable and wicking moisture underwear and baselayer.
