as well as many layers etc etc I think that you will need some liners for your gloves (silk is good, Decathlon has some for about a fiver) and (very important) a face protector of some sort such as either a full size balaclava or one of those neoprene masks if they still do them. I was in canada once when it was chilly and they wouldn't let you up the lifts if not covered up properly.
You really don't want anything exposed.
Oh, and goggles not glasses.

ps. WHen you say 'for the very first time' do you mean 'first time skiing/boarding' or 'first time in Jasper'. If the former, then I think they are taking the p+ss as learning in minus a million might not be much of a laugh.

jan usually has a cold snap a week down as low as -40. lots of layers is key. thermals polo neck middle layer fleece and good quality jacket should suffice.

Bodger007, lucky to get spyder for £150-£200 tbh. north face stuff is pretty handy and not so expensive. Try Nike ACG you can't go far wrong there. Maker sure you get something with insulation though beacuse Jasper can get so incomprehendably cold!
