[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1290510, member: 54178"] I'd suggest a pair of [B]MSR snowshoes, particularly the Lightning Ascent[/B] models. They don't slip on crusty snow and are very durable, unlike some "recreational' snowshoes. [B]Mitten shells[/B] are good over gloves in extreme cold. Mittens are a requirement for winter outdoor schools as a safety item. I prefer OR Gore-Tex shells. The author's advice on having two sets of gloves is good. Or you can have one pair of GTX glove shells and two pair of removable fleece liners. [B]Closed cell 3 mm neoprene diver's sox[/B] (worn over thin poly liner socks) are far better than heavy wool socks B/C they keep all your sweat inside so it does not compromise your boots' insulation. Plus the closed cell neoprene is warmer than the warmest wool socks. As a former Nordic and alpine ski patroller and winter survival instructor for the US Army I make these suggestions from experience. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
