    Hi, I'm headed out next week for five days on the Columbia Icefields around Jasper. We are hopeing to bag/ski a few of the peaks around there and I was hopeing for some feedback on my list:

    Clothing:
    Cap1 t-shirt
    Cap1 long sleeved t-shirt (sun/sleeping in)
    Silkweight long-johns
    2 silkweight boxers
    Mixmaster pants
    Cap4 shirt
    R1 Hoody
    R2 vest
    EPIC Hoody w/pocket vents – OR – Houdini
    DAS Parka
    Ball cap
    bandana
    fleece hat
    wool hat

    Hands:
    2 pairs softshell gloves
    Patagonia Strech Element Gloves
    Bufflo Mitts -OR- Mercury Mitts

    Feet:
    2 pairs liners
    RHB insulated socks
    Smartwool Mountineer socks
    MEC hut booties???
    Scarpa Lasers

    Sleep:
    3/4 length Prolite4
    WM Puma -OR- Apache?
    foam torso pad from pack
    pee bottle
    scrub brush and small spoung (for removing snow/water)

    Not 100% sure of our sleep system, would be good to have all three of us in one tent but might have to go with two tents.
    Probaly will bring 2 white gass stoves, two pots, and cook in freazer bags/tupperware.

    Gear:
    shovel, probe, tranciver, each.
    one snow saw
    8.1x60m rope
    crevase rescue gear
    6 screws
    3-4 pickets/deadmen
    4 sholder length draws
    2 double length draws
    ID Guides Tarp
    Black garbage bag for snow collection/melting
    BD Raven pro axe
    Half Done helmet???

    Ski stuff:
    BD Kilowatts, skins
    1 bd carbon fiber adjustable ski pole
    1 wippet

    I'm wondering if I am making a mistake not planning on taking wp/b rain gear or any extra leg insulation like micropuff pants. What do people think?
    We'll be at about 10,000 and 11,000-12,000 feet on a glacier and the weather at the parking lot (about 6 to 7,000 feet) is mainly sunny about +8C to +12C during the day and -8C at night.
