As for clothing, unless you are heading into stormy weather (and you would be foolish not to cancel in that case), layers and wind-proof clothing would be in order. I don't think full-on ski gear (at least the insulated pants) is necessary.
What are your thoughts on insulated softshell pants with good venting, vs getting new pants, in current conditions? I don't currently have uninsulated soft shell pants, since most of my adventuring is either warm and dry or cold and possibly wet. I've done strenuous labor in my ski pants, and the forecast has me thinking the insulation will be welcome at night in trail camp, but am I going to melt?
