Keep hands and feet warm and you'll be happy. I'm real happy with
the CX ski gloves I got a while ago, as their thick on top with a
thin control palm. Sounds like you're on the right track as comfort is
pretty personal. Some folks like those neoprene face masks, but I don't
think you'll need them above 25 degrees or so. Hopefully you'll have a
small pack with you so you can adjust add/remove layers as needed.

Do bring thick and greasy lip balm--the constant cold wind is brutal on
your kisser!

BTW, this post showed up four times on my news server

your version of Mozilla is borked, or your ISP's news server is
kooky--just letting you know.
