Coldest Skiing Ever.

I've skied in conditions so cold that a good Eskimo friend of mine who
happened to be there said it was "cold like never see". That morning I
had lunch with my good friend Bode Miller and he told me that I must be
"waaaay diehard" to be skiing that day. I'll admit I thought it was a
bit chilly, but I've spent time in a cryogenic chamber so it wasn't too
bad.

Oh, come on. You'll never experience really cold skiing as long as you
stay on that little round planet so close to that minor little star you
call the Sun. Just look at it: most of the H20 is in liquid form.

sheesh. What a waste.

Heh, what was it a great mind once said about hyperbole? Oh yeah,:

Egads! My sword's been turned against me!

LOL. At least your memory hasn't (totally) failed you.

I was reading another thread and was going to chime in with my "I've
skied when it's been colder than blah blah blah" story and realized
that there was really nothing I could add that would be of interest to
anyone but myself. And even *I* find myself boring on that topic.

Your Inuit is getting rusty; "Never Sea" is their (outdated) name for
the Arctic Ocean (it should now be called "Annual Sea"). Meaning it
was around the freezing point of seawater; maybe -2c.

You are as full of **** as ever.
\ heh.

Last year was my coldest at Mt. Snow one day . They had signs at the lifts
that said in large letters , 'frost bite warning' do not leave skin exposed
! I did one run and went back to the room . I put on my warmest clothes and
face gear so NO and I mean NO skin was exposed . Went back out and was able
to do about 5 runs at a time before taking a hot chocolate break . The
people inside the lift booths seemed so shocked to see someone coming up the
lift that I got lots of funny looks . I'm not exaggerating to say there were
maybe 10 people on the entire Mt skiing . They said they weren't going to
open but closed a little early . I had so many layers of clothes on I
couldn't ski good anyway , but when I feel , I only leaned over a few inches
and bounced right back up . It sucked , the hot tub felt real good that
night !

-100F? That's nothing!!!

Around here it gets waaaaayyyyy colder. How cold does it get, you ask?
It gets so cold that you have to wear a wetsuit in the hot-tub!
