What to Pack for Your Winter Getaway at Sustutdene Eco Resort | Your Cozy Guide to Adventure on Takla Lake

Winter at the Sustutdene Eco Resort (SER) on Takla Lake is like stepping into a living painting. The air carries a hush, broken only by the crunch of snow underfoot and the occasional call of an eagle circling overhead. Inside your lakeside cabin, warmth radiates from the rich fire as the scent of cedar lingers, and outside, the world glimmers in white and silver.

A Winter Getaway to Sustutdene Eco Resort is more than just a holiday – it’s a retreat into the stillness, story, and soul of the stunning surroundings. To fully immerse yourself in this one-of-a-kind experience, you’ll want to pack not just clothing and gear, but pieces of comfort that allow you to sink deeply into the rhythm of the land – and, of course, keep you toasty during your stay. 

Layers that Embrace You | Clothing for the Cold & Crisp

Winter here at Takla Lake truly envelops you, and to walk comfortably through the snow-laden trails or watch the stars from the crystalized lakeshore, you’re going to want to bring clothing that moves with you and keeps the warmth close. Such as:

• Thermal base layers that hug the body, keeping you cocooned in warmth.
• Soft wool or fleece sweaters, perfect for layering and curling up by the fire.
• Insulated, waterproof outerwear – a jacket and snow pants that shield you from cold winds while you wander around the landscape.
• Sturdy boots built for snow and ice
• Gloves, toque, and scarf, the finishing touches that make you stay warm and cozy even in the stillness of deep winter.
  
  

Cozy Tip: Pack extra pairs of warm socks – you’ll love this kind of comfort at the end of a chilly day.

Adventure Companions | Essentials for Exploring the Land

The Sustutdene Eco Resort is a place of movement and wonder. Snowmobile adventures hum along frosted trails and mountain-sides, where the trees stand as silent witnesses to your winter excursions. For this, we recommend you bring:

• Sunglasses or ski goggles to soften the brightness of the snow under the sun.
  
• Reusable water bottle to keep your body refreshed, even in the cold.
  
• A small backpack for day journeys – ideal for snacks, layers, or a journal.
  
• An avalanche pack with beacons, a probe, a shovel, radios & a first aid pack.

If you crave equipment for the full experience, the resort offers snowmobiles, kayaks, paddleboards, and boats. Every outing is a chance to connect with the heartbeat of this land.

At night, SER on Takla Lake slows down and enjoys the little things. The stars shimmer without city lights, the sauna steams, and stories weave through the crackle of the fire. To savor these evenings, pack:

Comfort for the Soul | Evenings of Stillness & Warmth

• Bathing suit for soaking in the hot tub or saunas, as the snow falls around you.
  
• A book or journal for quiet reflection, capturing thoughts and experiences.
  
• Camera or phone to preserve sunsets, shooting star sightings, and memories made.
  
• Your favorite tea or hot cocoa, a ritual of comfort as you wrap yourself in a blanket and enjoy the night air.

Practical Reminders | The Everyday Things That Matter

Even in a luxury rooted in nature, here are some practicalities to ensure your comfort:

• A valid fishing license is required for those hoping for a good catch.
  
• Personal medications and wellness items for your overall well-being.
  
• For campers, bring drinking water or purchase-ready jugs. For RVs, consider a generator or propane.
