Cold Winters in Colorado

Hi all! I'm a lurker and longtime reader with a 6 year old male, Cooper. We live in the beautiful Willamette Valley in Oregon and found out last week that we're getting relocated to the Denver, Colorado area. We spend a lot of time in the mountains here at my parents' cabin, hiking and playing the snow in the winter. Our boy has a pretty low cold tolerance, and has had some trouble with his ears fissuring when he spends too much time in the cold (something to do with his circulation). So I'm concerned that he won't take kindly to the cold winters there, and wondered if anyone has any "warm clothes" you'd recommend for him to be more comfortable. I've heard of Hound Toggs used by a lot of greyhound families. Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance, on behalf of Cooper!
