[QUOTE="FrogFire7, post: 2271353, member: 101482"] So, I'm also from PA. Hunted Colorado 2nd rifle two years ago for the first time. We got like 3' of snow, snowed most of the trip. Was also my first real experience with merino. I had thin base layers, then a long sleeve top and hoodie (both merino). Pants over base layer were fleece lined nylon. I was warm enough with that, but we didn't sit a lot. Next time I will bring puffy shell though, just to extend sit times. It snowed for days straight when we were there, so sitting really wasn't productive for to lack of visibility. I'm a believer in merino now, great stuff for active hunting and I use it in PA as well now. Still, for sitting, I'd bring a warmer lightweight shell. And a good insulated pad, try not to lose great wherever you can. Good warm hat and gloves will help during the sits. I also had a fleece orange vest, and a pack on my back most of the time (just another layer of insulation). Good luck! Be prepared for rapidly changing weather and conditions (bring layers and some weather protection). [/QUOTE]
