Thanks for the suggestions and the list guys.
I have one good pair of boots, and am looking now for a good deal on a second pair, so I can break them in this fall. I normally use fleece instead of wool, and have a good bit of it already from hunting, fishing, and skiing
I didn't see gaiters on any lists, although one did say buckled ankle pants. I learned the value of these inexpensive things the hard way. Without them snow gets on the ankles of your socks and wicks right to your feet.
Make sure at least one fleece layer is windproof. I like windproof fleece better than wool. Wool's main value is if you get it wet, other than it looks better. It sure is heavy and bulky, though.
I also didn't see a packable severe weather hat - those kind you can drop the ears down and bundle up or stick in your pack.
You will be changing body temperature a LOT. Work hard and sweat, then stop and wait for hours in the cold wind. Nice weather, severe weather, etc. Colorado is very unpredictable at 10,000 ft in late Oct / early Nov. I worked there at that altitude for several years.
