After spending weeks worrying about lack of snow and warm temperatures I am now worrying about how cold it will be in Cervinia over Christmas and new year. I have seen reports of it going to be -30 at the summit.
My worry is the Mrs feels the cold at the best of the time let alone those kind of temperatures.
What base layers are the best out there for the extreme cold??

Hi Mattski
There is a great thread on these forums about this. Take a look

There is a bit of spam on it, but the intentions are good :)

And one bit of kit that is often forgotten but makes a huge difference is SILK liner gloves!

I bought some of those and found they made little difference. I have a problem that I get white fingers when they get cold. Holding a cold pint can even cause it!

A fleecy pair of mitts over my usual gloves works for me.

When it gets past -15 it all feels the same.
I love my silk liners, although they have holes, perhaps that's why a couple of fingers get chilly.

Yes at below -15 even my electric boot warmers don't seem to work.
