I think sleeping on an inflatable pad is significantly colder than sleeping on a closed-cell pad.
If I am going to be sleeping on snow then I will definitely use a closed-cell pad.
I have been know to carry both for extreme comfort, inflatable pad for comfort, closed-cell pad for warmth.

Anybody know what the number one cause is? Rocks? Crampons?
