We are going on a three day snow shoe hike in Colorado, any advise on camping warmly?

We will be in the rocky mountain national park in mid may, so there will still be plenty of snow on the ground. I have plenty of good warm weather clothes, an external frame back pack to carry plenty of gear and a decent kelty sleeping bag, rated to 0 degrees (i think) my big question is if any one has suggestions on whether or not to use a foam mat to sleep on, a cot, or any ideas on what could be useful after the we get to the camp site, like tips on best location to put up the tent....or any advise someone has at all on cold weather camping. Thanks!!
 
Cotton Kills! Use wool or man-made fibers.
Stay out from underneath trees with your tent.
Use the CLOSED cell foam mat, whether you use the cot or not.
