Colorado Winter Backpack Overnight Loadout

Trail: Colorado · Season: WINTER · Backpacking · Mountaineering · Snowshoeing

Winter loadout for an overnight in the Colorado Rockies. Works well for me down to -15f & winds up to 40mph. Snow shoes are the heaviest item @ 4lbs(!). X Mid tent line tensioners begin to slip at 40mph+, so I recommend a 4 season tent above treeline, or in other exposed areas.
