Clothing Rule of thumb:

Plan what you will wear each day. When packing your bag, stack each days clothes in a separate pile to make sure you have each day covered.

Bring an extra set of clothes, in case you get wet.

 

Snow Camping Guidelines:

You will get wetter on a snow camp-out than any other. This is due to perspiration and snow. Water proof clothes are a MUST . Extra of everything is a very good idea.

 

Snow pants (ski pants) are good for working in snowy conditions.
