Excellent reply!
I feel a little stupid. It never dawned on me SKIs! I'll need to look in to Ski's. I'll be honest I just assumed Snow Shoes. Will I need both?
As far as a pack, I have s few now. My fair weather is a GG Blaze and a Osprey Exos 48. I have an ARc Bora 80 and a Gregory Baltoro 70- but, these are heavy. I'm leaning towards packs half the weight. CCW Chaos, or Cilo. Ideas?

I like the way you stated the tent being a Safe Haven, not so true in fair weather. You made up my mind on that, 0 deg bag it is. Rab or WM? Also, I'm leaning towards a xtherm. I currently use a REI Flash.

I really appreciate your responces.
