If I could just interject on the subject, simply because Red is fought outside in the blizzard doesn't mean that's where he always is. He may for the most part remain within the cave just before the peak, which I base on the theory that he is training on the mountain, which would require opponents. The inside of the cave is not hit by the winds, so it may be warmer, allowing Red to get by a little easier with his outfit, only leaving the mountain to restock on supplies.
Just my own theory, and be aware I may play devil's advocate, but feel free to protest.
