I would definantly get the pants and coat that have the zippers in the arm pits and inner thighs.  They will keep you cool when you get too hot.  I would also wear a long sleeve shirt, for if you get too hot, you can take off your coat.\n\nI would also make sure to bring goggles.  The snow is bright and can burn your eyes.

Go to your nearest swimming friend and ask her for a fast skin, goggles and a cap.. if this is for a costume party you'll look great if its a little cold the Parka would add a nice touch\n\nif you dont know what a fast skin is.. your swimmer friend will, and plus girls look really hot in fast skins..

eyzon47's answer is right on target - a thin, moisture-wicking first layer (polypropylene or some other synthetic like CoolMax, etc.) followed by thick  wool second layer for cushioning.  If you are prone to blisters, try applying something like Coach's tape or moleskin or one of the other fancy things like second-skin to the trouble spots before hitting the trail.  You have to keep this in mind when buying your hiking shoes - try them on with thick socks to make sure you have enough space.

Drink only purified water, carry more food and water than you'll need and carry enough clothes for all weather conditions. Get a pack that fits right. If you don't know how to get it set, then go to Eastern Mountain Sports and they will fit the pack to your back. They also have lots of useful pamphlets on what to bring, what to wear, and tips on surviving.\n\nHave fun.

I normally use snowshoes when I take my board up, but it can be a strain on the calves for a steep climb, you get into getter powder though.  That's what most folks where I live (Breckenridge) do.\n\nIf you really want to skin up then I would get some blades (super stubby skies) and mount some snowboard bindings on.  You will have to get creative though because you need to be able to 'free heel' to skin up.  You could try using a pair of Trekkers as the mount, they will also lift you up to stop your mounts from dragging.  It all sounds like too much work and gear...snowshoes of use an AT setup when you want to go up the mountain.

Get yourself a few pairs of Merino wool WigWam socks. WigWam socks are made for comfort on the trail. They are also customized to different sports and jobs. These are the socks for you. I'm not sure if they have their own website, but I know they're available at www.mec.com (Mountain Equipment Co-op). \n\nHappy Trails!

You should wear whatever is the most comfortable to you.  You will probably be active, so wear someting that you can be active in.

You know, people get all worked up over the "best ski".\n\nThere is no such thing. Pretty much all manufacturers create quality skis. I have ridden on practically everything, have skied for 30 years, raced, coached, instructed, and skied some pretty crazy stuff, and find no real difference between brands. So asking for a company and model doesn't make sense to me.\n\nThe only thing you should concern yourself with is the use - which you listed practically everything, and the length, which the ski shop will help you out with.\n\nBut to answer your questions on type of ski to get - there isn't one ski that does it all well, and for 12 year old kids, there aren't a huge amount of options. If he likes to style in the park, ride the rails, then twin tips are what you want - incidentally, twins are also good in powder.\n\nHowever, they won't be good on ice.\n\nYour best bet is an all-mountain ski, which will carve on ice, and handle crud well, plus is fine in the park. Concerning powder, well, the lad is just 12. He will float in the powder on 2x4's. Kids don't need to worry about powder skis yet.\n\nHope this helps - remember - any brand is fine - go for an all-mountain type of ski. Unless if you talk to him he really wants twins. Those are fine - I have a pair as well, they will just be a little less efficient on ice and crud.

Depends on your skill level and how you plan on skiing.  \n\n1.)  The better you are, the longer a ski you can handle.\n\n2.)  If you enjoy moguls (i.e., tight quick turns), then go with shorter skis.  If you enjoy long fast banzai runs downhill that irritate the ski patrol (my favorites), then you'll want a longer ski.\n\nShort answer:  Go to the ski shop and ask them for help.  Rent a set of short ones, then a set of long ones and see which ones you enjoy more.

montreal canada, its the best compromise you can have.  In winter you can go ski and its not very far away, in summer we have a lot of festivals (jazz fest, just for laugh (comedy show)...)  we have a lot of trendy store.  It not a super big city like new york but it not a small village. the temperature is not too cold not too hot (-5 to 10 F with wind it can be lower a bit in winter and around 100 F in summer)

I have used www.mountainwarehouse.com and www.wildday.co.uk, tchibo are getting their mens ski wear on Wednesday this coming week. They will apparently still get in some of the childrens thermals and may still have some womens stuff. TK max are excellent as are asda I have bought stuff there also. Have a great time.

When we got married in the mountains we decided on black jeans and a nice white top.  One other piece of advice about mountain weddings, make sure you have a back up location indoors some where because there is no predicting the weather up there.  We got snow and ice in June.

There appear to be several materials present in Arctic grade clothing.\n\nMy experience has been with outer garments made by Carhartts, and I can attest that they will keep you alive, although not particulatly comfortable at minus 50 degrees f.\n\nI have used their products over the past 15 years at Prudhoe Bay, on Alaskas "North Slope"\n\nThe particular parka I use features a layer of  "Gortex" next to the nylon outer layer. I've found this useful for staying dry, as moisture vapor can penetrate, but liquid water can't.\n\nCarharrts website is listed below.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nOuzinki

Check out Cabelas.com...I just ordered winter insulated athletic type boots that are ankle high, water proof and protect to negative 45 degrees.  Wore them to Copper Mountain Ski Village in Colorado last weekend and they were comfy and warm.   Cabellas has their own brand of products that are not advertised so thy are a lot cheaper but just as good as name brands like columbia.\nCheck them out....\nCabela's Women's Snow Runner™ \nWintertime warmth with an athletic-shoe fit\n$59.95\n\nThe Cabela's Women's Active Trail™ Mid Hikers  look like they would do good for you too, not as insulated and a little more expensive about $90 but they are specified for hiking and 100% waterproof.  Mid ankle height.  Look really cute too.

I would recommend looking at the ski resorts in the Salt Lake City area. \n\nThere are many of them with all varieties of terrain. SLC airport is the central hub of all air transportation across the country so it should be easy to get to and cheap as well. \n\nIt should only take you 45 minutes to get to the closest resort and accomidations are reasonable due to competition with other resorts and hotels.\n\nI would look at Snowbird, that's where I learned to ski and I love it.
