Sleeping pads for snow-ski-camping ?
Time to try snow-camping on skis. The first time will be very timid,
just 100's of yards from the car with a working heater. A typical Hudson expedition trial. We're pretty well set with equipment except I have some concerns about maintaining warmth sleeping in a tent on packed snow. What are the best alternatives for insulating sleeping pads that are light enough to carry on skis ? Thanks, -Sven |

What are the best alternatives for insulating sleeping pads that are light enough to carry on skis ? A common setup for backpackers for winter camping is to use a 3/4 length Thermarest 1.5" thick (or more) and a 3/4 or full length closed cell pad. Seems to work down to -20 or -30 F. Actually, camping on snow is less cold than sleeping on bare frozen ground.
