Forgive me for being the nervous Nellie here .

Brandi, you could easily get SNOWED on. What happens if you are relying on that one pair of surgical gloves and they get torn? Definitely think worst case scenario, or, at least, really really bad case scenario. At 9000 feet I have had to stop one mile from town and put on two extra layers while hunkering under a tree to avoid going hypothermic during a thunderstorm. This was in August, and not all that unusual.

Wool is good. Very, very good. Fleece is good. If you can find a pair of waterproof overgloves (to fit over your fleecies) they would be grand. Of course, if you bring them, you won't need them ! Have you looked on ebay? Most online retailers are closing out winter stuff now. Don't just jump on the first thing you see, you have a while.

A mylar space blanket is great. They fold down smaller than a travel pack of kleenex. They're waterproof and heat reflective. Getting deep under a coniferous tree can keep you pretty dry, too.

You are in for a grand adventure!!!
