Mario thanks for the advice! So thinking like multiple base layers on top of each other? Versus multiple mid layers, like a fleece and a down puffy. I'm coming from 16 years in the Florida Keys, gonna freeze my ass off. So the layering concept is all new to me. I've seen youtube vids with some simple 3 layer setups, and then some with two or 3 mid layers. I was gonna ask that next, is that because of the waterproofing? I've seen "waterproof" and non waterproof down puffy jackets. Do you need waterproof or is the waterproofing from a good shell with powder skirt enough?

Traveling to Breckenridge for the first time in February. Looking for recommendations from locals or anyone with experience on Breck in February for recommendations on how many and what kinds of layers I should pack. This is my first time skiing and first time to the area. What are most people wearing? Any recommendations? Best advice I've gotten so far was "considerable" amounts of layers. But didn't press if that meant Hard Shell>Down Insulator>Fleece>Base Layer... or 2 fleeces.. or Shell>Insulator>Sweater>Fleece>Base layer... etc. Any advice and recommendations is appreciated.
