A friend of mine was in AK shooting a documentary on a glacier a few years ago. He bought a pair of what look like moon boots-not the trendy designer boots, but the thick insulated boots with the big soles. Can't remember the brand, but the soles on them are about 2 or 3 inches thick. They look like something a snowmobile rider would wear.

They might be these-

I would also take some insulated mitts like TNF makes and a pair of gloves with the fingertips cut off that look like cycling gloves. For liner gloves, I like OR PS150s or whatever their current model is.

Heat Factory also makes gloves and mitts that have zipper pockets for small chemical heat packs. They also make a boot insole that holds the same pack-those work for about 6 hours or so. I have those and only tried them once in a ski boot-they were way too warm for the weather I was in, so I know they work.
