Trip Overview

Learn everything you ever wanted to know about staying comfortable on your winter adventures with an exclusive discounted shopping event.

Temperatures are dropping and we're getting lots of questions about what gear you should invest in for next year. So, we're kicking off the day with an interactive clothing clinic to empower you with the knowledge and skills to dress smartly and actually enjoy any winter weather! You'll learn how to layer your clothing and develop an effective winter clothing system, understand the importance of fabric choices, and get expert tips on the best gear for different cold-weather activities.

The clinic will be led by MEC and WU staff and we'll have a giveaway for a high quality set of winter base-layers!

Once that wraps up, you'll get an exclusive 15% discount on almost everything in store with staff on hand to help you with your purchases.

We're huge fans of MEC and couldn't be more excited to make this available to you, completely free of charge for all WU members.

If enough folks are still around once we're done shopping we may go for a group lunch nearby.
