Snow is beautiful ... until you have to move it.

As you perhaps recall, in my former life I spent all day in the snow at high elevations often -40 temps with an additional minus factor windchill on top of that.

Right on with the tootsie circulation as well as good layers - that was a challange when at the same time I had to have snug fitting ski boots. I use Smartwool as a base ( a bit spendy but worth it ) and before Heat Holders were available I used fleece socks that worked for the outer layer. Heat Holders are a nice and comfy option.

One thing that merits mention for floaters is waders that are well maintained - leaks can put a dampener on even quality under layers and cut down on the outing time.

With the right foot gear you should be able to keep traction on any surface - examples below. A mountaineering type ski pole could help with balance as you walk (the real stout kind cuz yer a real stout kind of feller)

BTW Pat, I am still soft water fishing too. Went fly fishing yesterday - had to ski in.
