Great video and great advice even for those of us sticking to the resort and hiking small back and side country lines. I regularly ride in -20 to -30C and simple base layering makes these days totally enjoyable, even if the lift up is a little painful in the wind. You don't have to necessarily buy the most expensive ski branded gear you can find, either. It's more about materials and less about high tech, especially if your life isn't completely relying on your outerwear. I have multiple Merino Wool long sleeves from Costco at like $20 each, Merino/Poly blend long johns from a hunting/work wear store, and a Primaloft puffy from the grocery store clothing section, of all places. I will add poly mid weight pants if necessary, but it has to be pretty cold. Combined with proper waterproof/gore outer layer, it's fantastic and so much more affordable than spending $300 on a down vest, $120 per merino base layer etc. Just keep an eye on deals and check the material tag on things you run across!

Great video! I perpetually run hot except my hands, and the glove layering system was a game changer for me last winter. I prefer using gauntlet cuff gloves with removable liners that I can swap out as they get wet/sweaty. As to layers, I've become a big fan of the "hybrid style" layering system (Nikolai Schirmer had a good video on this recently) that omits the waterproof shell entirely and the insulator puffy becomes the outer shell. I'm in California though and this doesn't work in climates with lots of wet snow

Most of this applies to inbound skiing as well. I’d add pit and crotch zips to help manage moisture, and one thing that’s helped me after many years of cold hands. Pull off your gloves for just a moment when you feel any moisture. Not practical for touring but I do it in line or right after I get on a chair inbounds.

Excellent stuff. I'm no pro downhill skier, but I do quite lot nordic winter touring with tent accomondation. So several days of crosscountry skiing. My 2c: 1. As I'm in rathern cold & dry environment (-20C and below), I don't like the hard shell that much. Dry snow doesn't really get you that wet, it's the internal moisture that's the problem. Softshell breaths better (and I'm heavy sweather). For around 0C the hardshell starts to shine. 2. Dress so that you are chilly when you start. Add west for the start if necessary, but keep the layers so that you don't really get wet. If should be comfortable while moving, but if you are sweaty, you are wearing too much. 3. When you are coming to break, especially for the night, open up your wents and lighten up your layers even more like 15 minutes before you stop. That way you dry properly up before you stop and are chilly even with puffy on. In tent it really sucks to try to dry your gear with stove. And if it goes on for several days, your sleeping bag also starts icing up if you put moist stuff there to dry. 4. if it's sunny in the morning even middle winter sun gets rid of some moisture in the bag.

Excellent video, I need to bookmark it to send to people who are new to winter sports!! What about hats? I personally have found that I need to carry an extra dry shirt as I sweat even in a light windbreaker and light base layer, even on the coldest of days though I have found a few tricks to help stay cool, like I don't wear gloves or only very light gloves on the way up and usually no hat or just a baseball cap to keep the sun off so that excess heat has a way to leave before I start sweating. On the other end of the spectrum my wife has Reynolds syndrome and she always has freezing hands so wears thicker gloves on the way up. I have met others with Reynolds and learned a trick that really helps, which is wear surgical gloves as your base glove layer as they trap the moisture (keeping rest of gloves dry and warm) are easy to carry extras of and are super warm.

Yeah but... years of touring about Mt Hood (welcome to the neighborhood btw), I find you often can't un-layer enough to keep form getting wet. For someone who sweats as efficiently as I do, that's always been a difficult game. It's hard to wick moisture out, when the humidity is as high outside the shell, as inside. Never had a problem properly layering in Wisconsin (where I learned the art of freeheel - really), to hut trips in Canada (both providing many sub-zero bluebird days), but here in the PNW? I always have dry extras in my pack.

I’ve noticed that sometimes an extra vest or slightly warmer mid layer can help my hands and toes feel warmer even with the same glove system, as the body doesn’t vasoconstrict as much. Has to be done before your hands feel cold, however.

This will probably bring some hate, but I have used neoprene socks in my ski boots since the 80s. Buy them big so they don’t squeeze your feet and wear a liner sock. Moisture is held between the outer liner sock and inner neoprene sock, keeping your liner boots dry (great for overnights). Neoprene provides an even cushion over your feet and does not become a soggy mess like wool socks will. This also helps to protect your liner boots. After many years I find that my feet don’t sweat that much. YMMV

Moisture management is key. Not only does water conduct heat faster than air, it also transfers heat through evaporation (which is why sweating works so well for keeping us cool). Excess moisture in your clothing, especially close to your skin, has the same evaporative cooling effect of sweating. Cotton is such a killer because it collapses when wet, losing most of its insulating qualities, and If it’s right next to your skin will maximize the effect. There’s another aspect to this evaporative effect which can actually cool you off below the air temperature, but this gets a little (more) esoteric. Bottom line, as you emphasized, moisture management is key to temperature management.

When I switched to merino baselayers I quickly realised that they were not performing as promised. They wet out and never walk dry. I thought it was user error and persisted, until I read that merino can absorb more moisture than cotton. After that I've switched to synthetics against the skin with possible merino layers on top (or not at all). It's smellier for sure. But, if you take a mesh polypropylene t-shirt and wash it right after wearing it, it'll stay pretty fresh and be dry enough to wear almost immediately. Also have to point out that close knit cotton outer layers (like Ventile) work great in cold climates, just not against the skin. Great topic for a video, cheers!

As an "uphill athlete", the most useful - and cheapest $-for-$ - piece of gear I have is a very basic nylon shell jacket or vest. There's no getting around sweating if you're humping (not 'touring'.) So plain fleece is best for moisture management until it gets windy (or snowy). Then, a simple nylon wind barrier will mostly breath and keep the snow off while keeping the wind from cooling down the sweat in the fleece. It'll also add 15F comfort range. And it's very compact. Once at the top, it's add the full shells, top, pants, real gloves, and swap the headband for a hat.

Doesn't work in all situations but another thing that you can do to manage foot warmth (or honestly any part of your body if you're feeling bold about becoming your personal sauna) is making use of a VBL (Vapor Barrier Layer). Start with liner sock, put it in a VBL (at the cheapest you can use a turkey bag but some of the mountaineering companies sell actual socks and in that case you could potentially skip the liner sock altogether), and then put all of that in your main sock. This traps all of your body's moisture in the liner sock and stops your main sock or boot from getting soaked by sweat.
