Speaking of heater Phïsh shows, 12-30-97 was the full show of the day yesterday on Sirius. So good.

My kid was one and done, and I wouldn't have kept going more than a couple of runs if he hadn't been in full "I'm really cold" meltdown. The wind picked up and made it just too raw to enjoy what indeed felt like a double digit dump. No lines at Mt. Blow. So cold that the liftie didn't bother to scan anybody.

Seconded. I only had two on the hill this week, but yesterday was one of them, and conditions were pretty darn good (at least for freeskiing, the race training took a bit of effort to pull off).
Now I'm wishing I could type with gloves on, because I can feel the draft on my hands while inside.

You think Vermont sucks and skiing the EC is garbage. Its beneath you. We are all simple minded peasants who enjoy pathetic mountains and conditions. You are a master of the universe who skis nothing but the best. Understood.
What I don't understand is why you live in this thread. Read the title. You aren't interested. Maybe just fuck off?

East MF Coast 19/20.
I pulled off 10 nonstop Sterling laps from 10:30-1:30 today at Smuggs. Great snow but thin cover. Cold? Yes. Too cold to ski? No.
It did take two hours for my toes to thaw and staying warm was a constant effort but glad I went for it.
Temp of neg 1 when I pulled into Lot 1. Bumped all the way up to 2 by the time I left. You could avoid the wind which was key to survival.
While I attempted to avoid exposed ski. It appears I’ve suffered some light frost bit on tip of nose and cheeks. I don’t like face masks but did my best to keep my face buried in my jacket.Uno mas

East MF Coast 19/20.
It’s pretty light. I don’t think it will scab over. Downside of skiing solo in these temps as you’ve got no one to tell you your face is white. Thought I was on it as far as protection goes but hard to rely on full face protection from a jacket on the down.
Did have a few “I’m sure the liftie will tell me if my face is white” thoughts.
Years ago - I will never forget it - I saw a guy hiking toward the summit at Jay with big sheet-white patches on his face. “Dude, you have serious frost bite, you need to get inside now. I’m serious”. “Don’t worry I will be fine” and he continued on his way hiking toward the summit in horridly cold wind chill. Curious what kind of carnage his day resulted in.Uno mas

^^^I think you may have mis-understood... Vaseline as a frostbite preventative layer on nose and cheeks before heading out skiing. Apply nice and thick. Like Dermatone but way cheaper. Old coaches/mountaineering trick.

There's also the cayenne pepper powder on the toes before putting on the ski socks trick for keeping frostbite at bay on your feet. Careful, a little goes a long way.
