Here's what I can tell you from my experience. If you're actively hiking you can get by on much less than what you would need to spend hours sitting in the cold inactive. Also a huge question is how will you be interacting with the snow -- taking a boot-packed trail is much different than going off trail and both need some water protection. if you're in the desert at 0 deg you don't need to worry about water-proofing.
Here's what I recommend from backpacking mt Whitney when it was subfreezing most days and I was mostly on snow. A mid-warmth base layer to start -- I personally love the synthetics. They also work as PJs on cold nights. REI makes synthetic base layers that I love but if you have extra cash wool is longer-lasting and also better at keeping you warm if you get wet. On top of that a tight-fitting fleece pullover. You can hike through 0-30 temps and be okay with that. If you expect wind or time sitting around: add on either a parka or down puffy. If you don't care about weight a cheap parka with synthetic insulation from Eddie Bauer will keep you just as warm as a $500 Patagonia down jacket. If you do care about weight that will be a down jacket straight from Mountain hardware, Patagonia, etc. -- brands that are made for mountaineering.

In order to save weight, powdered water is probably a better option.

That combined with the fact that REI is now issuing promo coupons, bonus cards, nearly every month or every other month
Means things are not looking great there
Starting Oct 31st-Nov 9 REI is doubling the mastercard rewards (so you get 5% + 5%)

Thank you very much for the details!
I will go to a store to talk to staff.

Now their "REI" store brand is both hilariously overpriced, and junk.
Their Flash line of daypacks fall apart with light use, and if you're not within 1 yr that's it.
I recently wanted to buy a bike seat pouch, and was shocked that the store didn't have a single one on the racks for less than $79. My actual bike seat wasn't even that much

It's all about layering. Can't go wrong with the classic merino wool Smartwool base layers. Wicks moisture like no other. Excellent piece of gear.
Other layers - mid layer is subjective I usually opt for a fleece or something that can breathe a bit.
Jacket/outer- Down is the lightest and warmest. It compacts very well too. Only thing down doesn't do well is getting wet. They have all sorts of new products like dridown (real down treated with water repellent) which is fantastic and actually works. I always get with a hood. Makes a big difference. I also get everything in full zip so you can vent easily. And other venting option are great too like pit zips or side zips etc. Most important thing is to stay dry and not to soak your clothes with sweat. Try the gear on a local hike before hitting the mountains ⛰️
Enjoy!

Yes, the local hike plan is on the cards. Thanks for the advice.
