I would get a canopy and make a sleeping platform.... I wouldnt want to live in a tent on ski slopes all winter. You can probally find a 12v heating pad or rods to keep the canopy warm. Which I would reccommend a optima yellow top, or spare battery for.

Emergency food
emergency items: food,first aid,clothes, blankets for extreme cold. (you have snowboard stuff but how comfortable will it be to sleep in?)
You seem to have a good idea on where you are going. Possibly mail yourself packages with things you will need or run out of later. Or have friend/family mail them to you before you get there. Have packages pre-packaged and labeled as to when they go out. I know back pakers do this all the time on long hikes. Possibly send them out with arrangments at destination to hold till you get there.
You seem to have everything else.

leatherman charge xti, its saved my ass so many times. i use it daily.
when i go out, i keep it on my belt, with a 40 inch lanyard attached to it and my belt. that way i can never drop it and lose it. and you can always use the lanyard if you need rope or something.
edit: 200th post!!!
looks like you got an awesome trip planned, wish i was that aventerous. good luck!

just about ever 4wheeling trip ive been on someone in the group has an electrical problem with something and the DMM comes out to troubleshoot.
This past weekend on the run i was on we were troubleshooting a guys offroad lights (for the night run)...
a "pocket sized" one can be picked up for less than $20 from either Radio shack or HF.

I have a crafstman digital multimeter. I will definently bring that. If nothing else, I'll be able to troubleshoot a bad battery vs a bad alternator with it.
....Exactly 7 days before my last day of work here in Ohio
Can't wait to get to Bellingham! My friend out there just got a house, so as soon as I get there I'm going to have to get a job and start paying rent. Looks like Im going to be there for a year cause we just signed the lease! Yeee haaaa, nothign like last minute, moving across the country to be in the mountains to keep things interesting.
