I grew up in the rocky mountians, and even though the snows have been less so, it was the sort of place my grandpa tells stories of blizzards 8ft deep that would get people trapped in for weeks.
The number one thing you want is water or a way to get water.
Number two is food or ways to get food.
Number three is heating/shelter.
You get those three things and learn how to get them (hunting, fishing, foraging, etc) and youll be just fine.
As for food, to give us a comfortable buffer, we had an entire wall dedicated to 5 gallon buckets of freeze dried stuffs like egg, milk, beans, rice, basics such as that.
Water is best to have you own independent well, and a filtration device for us while foraging and a bigger one for local high volume water if there is no well.
These basics are what anyone preparing for almost any disaster or emergency should do.
