Thanks, gang. I have my Keen Growler winter boots which I have used in below zero temps and snow and they worked great. I also have a thick down coat, my Montbell UL down inner vest, several layers of wool shirts...plus face protection, OR Windstopper hat, another wool hat to go over that....extra socks, mittens with windstopper covers....fleece pants with my rain pants....I think I will sweat!

Also have my emergency gear with me just in case my partners are unprepared. I do have some handwarmers as part of the kit. I ran out of the toe warmers.

It's 5 here right now...but the mountains will warm up by the time we get there.
I'll let ya know how it goes. BTW....I consider myself a woodchuck and don't own one pair of heels.

I used to live in Utah...brutal white-outs. Skiied in -20 in Vermont as a kid.
BRING IT ON!
