Q1: Why are the ladies warmly dressed even though the Sun is shining.?

[Answer]

As you go up a mountain the air gets 'thinner', that is there's less oxygen in every breath you take.

This has an effect on the weather, too. Because there is less air on mountains, the air soaks up less heat, so it quickly cools down at night. This makes frost even more likely.
