What to pack
Think "Eddie Bower"
Yup, all the great outdoor clothes are essential here. Hoodies and Uggs will get you by until about November, then a nice puffy jacket and some snow boots (Sorels) will keep you dry and warm. Don't forget snow pants and sun glasses (sunblock too) for outdoor adventure.
