So, you’re planning to embark on the ultimate romantic adventure and considering a Whistler Heli Proposal? Here’s your go-to guide on what to wear for your unforgettable journey:

Footwear Fit for the Snow Trek

Sturdy shoes are a must. You’ll likely be walking through some deep snow, and the last thing you want is soggy, cold feet. Opt for waterproof, insulated boots to keep your toes toasty and dry for your heli proposal.

Bundle Up with a Warm Jacket

Whistler’s winter chill can be brisk, especially up on the glacier. A warm, insulated jacket will not only act as a windbreaker but also keep you cozy during your scenic adventure and, of course, the big moment itself.

Gloves for Warm Hands and Heartfelt Moments

Cold hands can be a buzzkill, especially when you’re about to slip that ring on. Bring along a pair of good-quality gloves to keep your hands warm and ready for that magical moment. Consider touchscreen-friendly gloves so you can easily capture every special second.

Top it Off with a Beanie

A stylish beanie not only adds a touch of winter chic to your ensemble but also keeps your head warm. Choose one that complements your outfit and adds that cozy flair to your heli proposal look.

Sunglasses for Style and Sun Glare

Despite the winter season, the sun can be quite intense, particularly when reflecting off the snow; nevertheless, be sure to pack a pair of sunglasses to shield your eyes and add a touch of glamour to your aerial adventure.
