    Planning a trip next weekend to Grayson Highlands and the park ranger is telling me there is likely going to be enough snow to warrant snowshoes which I do not currently own. Could use some suggestions here.

    I also suppose I could use an eval on my layering system.

    Currently I'm hiking in

    Montrail Mountain Masochists light wool liners, and a Goretex sock.
    OR gaiters and Arcteryx nylon pants

    Bas layer is silk weight Icebreaker Wool LU
    Silk weight Icebreaker wool top
    Patagonia R1 jacket
    montane slipstream windshirt
    Montbell ex light down jacket
    Goose feet down hood
    OR rain jacket.
    Zpacks Cuben rain pants

    I'm thinking I need to pick up soft shell bottoms, new hard shell top, and a pair of gloves and the snow shoes before my trip and could use input.

    Sleeping wise I'm carrying 200wt tops and bottoms, heavy wool socks, and my goose feet hood. Plus carrying a 0 degree EE RevX quilt and a thermarest Xtherm pad.
