Gala Yuzawa - what to take (child)

Am packing our cases today in preparation for departure tomorrow.

As I'll have a JR East Pass, I'm considering taking the little one on a day trip to play in the snow at the Gala Yuzawa resort. Just looking to hire a sled, muck around and use the onsen/pool.

Question is - what clothes should I take for her?

Does the snow get slushy up there? (waterproofs)
Or can she get by with some sturdy corduroys? (with knee and bum patches and a layer underneath)
Or should I just take an all in one ski suit? My concern with this last option is that our little 火の玉 might get too hot and sweaty - being overdressed is about the only thing that ever leads her to moan and protest.

Also wondering if Wellington boots with fleece liners (and some socks) will be enough?

Obviously, I'm keen to keep our packing to a minimum but ski resorts are outside of my experience, we do go to Finland occasionally, but preparing for -20C and below is quite different.

Any suggestions?
