What is the degree rating for these boots? Would I be able to take them on a winter backpack trip in the snow? Roughly 20-30 degree weather.

If your snowshoeing then you shouldn't have any problems. I would recommend a thick sock, expedition Merino Wool is the best, and really pay attention to your toes. The concern is wet feet and because of the eVent liner in this boot, your foot will breath significantly better than a Gore-Tex lined boot. The other issue is fit. If you have a too tight of fit, it will limit the circulation in the foot which can cause your feet to get cold faster and possibly numb. I typically take these boots for overnight trips in winter and they are great!
