I have legit cold weather gear, I spend a lot of time in Canada. I have skied for 3 days when the daytime high was 0 and been fine. The main things are to wear outer layers that wind can't penetrate, and to keep all your skin covered. If you do that, you'll be ok. Also, don't cheap out on the boots.
You don't want to over dress though, because if you sweat under all of that, eventually you'll be freezing.
