WHEN IS IT TOO COLD TO SKI

[VTKilarney]

I'm happy sitting these few days out. There are plenty of other things I can do that will more enjoyable.

Skied in minus 20 at sugarbush a few years ago, with plenty of layers it was survivable but definitely not pleasant

-20 wind chill, or air temp?

Sounds awful either way.

I believe it was -20 with wind chill but at points the wind picked up and it was even colder

I've found -20 due to mostly wind chill to be worse than a straight -20. I've skied in both and vastly prefer a colder actual temp with no wind versus the other way around.

I agree. the wind allows the coldness to get in through small openings and gaps.

Only saving grace for the weekend is, wind might be on the light side.

Was looking forward to hitting MRG friday, but we might start at SB since Friday looks colder than saturday (Sunday looks worse than both!). At least at SB you have HSQs and don't have to go all the way to the top to have some decent skiing. Castle rock chair is gonna be cold though. But better than the single I think.

Disagree based on the aspect of the Single Chair vs most Sugarbush lifts. Also HSQ can give you some wind chill on the way up.

Single chair you bundle up and enjoy your bad mood due to deep freeze as best you can, fully in tune with the brutality of nature and free from all of the rudeness of other people's thoughts, or as some call it, comradery.

Lmao pissing people off and/or or being pissed off on the chairlift is half the fun of skiing solo!

Looking at the forecast a few more days out, it appears that another reinforcing shot of cold air arrives post storm system on Saturday, with the core of that cold air, predicted currently to be even colder than tomorrow, to be on New Years Day... So happy I get to stand around at Bromley on Monday with a current predicted high of -3 before the wind kicks in, and watch both of my kids race/compete in what is annually the longest race day of the Southern VT Council U14 racing calendar.... NOT!!!! Brrr!!!

The other day at Zermatt, I got into an 8 person gondola with 7 other people and one of them objected. Wasn't sure I heard her correct so I got in anyway and she glared at me the whole way up.

It's not the cold I'm personally worried about... It's listening to my wife bitch about the cold all day that I'm worried about!!

As has been posted,10 below and no wind with blue sky is just fine.Putting that face towards the sun on the ride back up makes all the difference imo.The wind just seems to suck the fun out of it for me.

Wildcat says too cold = -50
