How to Dress for OPTIMIST HILL this winter

When you plan winter outdoor activities like skiing, snowboarding or tubing, etc., it’s important to dress warmly. In these situations, prioritizing items like gloves, hats, and other essentials is vital. You might also opt for a thicker base layer and a cozy sweater to help keep the heat in.  Remember to dress in layers as you can always remove a layer if you get too warm!

Dos

• Layer Properly: Use the three-layer method to retain heat and stay dry!
• Invest in Quality: Prioritise wearing good winter jackets, waterproof boots, and additional items.
• Buy Accessories: Protect hands, feet, head, and neck with necessary winter accessories.
• Stay Dry! Ensure that your outer layer is waterproof to avoid getting wet.
• Wear Reflective Clothing: Reflective clothes keep one visible even during foggy, low-light conditions and can be significantly helpful during winter emergencies.

Don’ts

• Don’t Wear Cotton: Cotton retains moisture and is prone to getting wet quickly, making one feel colder and risking frostbite.
• Don’t Skip Checking the Weather: Before you head out, it’s a good idea to check the Canada weather forecast so you can be ready for unexpected snowstorms or a sudden chill in the air.
• Don’t Use Non-Insulated Boots: Shoes, plastic boots or rubber boots won’t provide warmth for your feet.
• Don’t Wear Non-Canadian Winter Clothes:  It’s best to steer clear of winter clothing from other countries, as they might not provide the warmth needed for the harsh Canadian winters.
