-10F? That is a relatively tame figure. I know plenty of people who have skied in similar temperatures. Consenting adults and all that.

Memo for media hand-wringers: If you’re skiing, there’s plenty of wind anyway so quoting wind chill figures is nonsensical at best.

I was up in Vermont last year and the temp was sub zero. One run down and I had to go into the ski shop for a balaclava face covering and googles. Otherwise it was too painful ;-)

I recall skiing in Alta, Utah, in maybe 1982, 1983 or so. The temperature was -30 F. The only "windchill" was self-generated, as there was no wind, fortunately.

It was otherwise, a beautiful, sunny day with about a foot of fresh powder. It was so cold that the snow "squeaked" underfoot. If you were dressed for it, it was almost enjoyable.

I was up early bringing a friend to the Bozeman International this morning before 4:00 AM...It was -12.

Likely colder at the top of the Bridgers or Lone Peak.

I was colder in early December but the ski slopes were not open yet.

Lot’s of fun!

Skiers can stay warm by being aggressive on the slopes; the problems are with lift operators, and attendants, in those deep cold temps. They’re not moving as much.

Also, the machinery gets a bit cranky as well.

What!? Skiing or the lack thereof for cupcakes now, I guess.
