We are going up to ski Okemo, VT this weekend, staying three nights and skiing Friday and Saturday. My wife and seven year old will be skiing with me. Friday's HIGH is forecasted to be 2 degrees and Saturday the high will be a balmy 8!! Not sure what the winds will be like but even calm it will be FRIGID.
Bottom line when is it too cold to enjoy skiing? I don't mind the cold as much, but I have my kid enrolled in an all day ski program and my wife is a newbie taking lessons. I have honestly NEVER skiid in temps this low.
Seriously should I think about postponing the trip and go next weekend? Again if it was some buddies and me going I would not think twice about it. I guess on the plus side maybe the low temps will keep the mountain relatively empty.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Marc
