You can probably rent one at the on hill rental shop?
discount sporting goods store, 2nd hand store. craigslist.

my main advice is to buy a jacket.
contractor garbage bag would work in a pinch w/ duct tape, but it will be noisy
If it's sunny you could easily get away with a sweatshirt over your baselayer and fleece. it was 31 and sunny today and I was riding in a sweatshirt and only a baselayer.
Last I saw it's supposed to be a bit breezy. Not realy bad, 10-15mph. But I'd think about getting something to deal with that more than the cold which you can fix with layers.
SARAN WRAP and SCOTCH TAPE…Prove how core you are to the rest
LOL
Only layers I have on top:

Under Armour base
Patagonia Capilene mid
Patagonia Capilene quarter zip top (fits really small though)
2 Unqilo heatwear loose tops

And then the Northface zip up fleece.

Goddamnit.
That lot should keep you warm, especially if it's sunny.
Stop being a bitch and just ride.

This. I forgot my snowboard pants on a spur of the moment trip last March to Jackson Hole. I work my jeans in 10 degree weather while dumping snow. Great freaking 2 days.....
Grab some spray on Nikwax and give ya hoody a coat!!!!!

Or a $2 poncho and a hip flask of vodka!!!!!
33 degrees isnt cold. I get too warm on days like that, especially if its sunny. You could borrow/buy a hoody and thats all you will need. It may be a little cold in the morning but after a run or two you should be fine. Stop whining...be appreciative you get to go to the hill for the day. Everything doesnt have to be perfect. You sound like a wittle baby.:no1:

BIG assumption there.

33 degrees isn't cold TO YOU!

Maybe the OP doesn't have a lot of natural "extra layers" Porky. :hairy:
Whenever you order from them and have it sent to east coast, it takes a long time. At least a week every time I have ordered. Snow and ice storms...add a few days onto that.
since u seem to be in jersey

run over to pelican and get something on 50% off rack

or got to dicks/sports authority/rei
and return after wards

that is UNETHICAL! :eyetwitch:
If a fleece in that temperature is suffucient depends on wind, your terrain, your type of riding.
No wind chills, even sunny, gondola, riding slow... you're probably fine with what you have.
Wind chills, no covered chairs, long wind lift lines, long wind exposed lift rides, riding at higher speeds... you probably be cold. (You really have absolutely no jacket which shilds wind? Rain jacket, hiking jacket, mtb jacket, running jacket, casual winter jacket?)
You have plenty to stay warm. Snowboarding doesn't require official boarding clothes. Just go shred. Bring an extra hoodie in case you get wet and just change it out. Last week I went in my work clothes, just had my boots, board and gloves. I probably looked pretty stupid but my riding style made up for that. ;)

Go to Walmart and get a $20 jacket.
