This year it was 0 degrees in town. We hit the mountain and hardly anything was open due to the wind. Im not sure how cold it was with the wind but I did have my face mask that helped

It was…I dunno. It was like 20 Fahrenheit, with 35 mph constant winds, but up to 60 mph gusts. It was snowing, and cloudy, and they were blowing snow too. With the windchill and everything, the Real Feel had to be like -20 Fahrenheit or so. We were layered up so much and still freezing. My pants actually froze to the lift at one point.

It was 20 degrees F at Stowe Mtn in Vermont last winter, 3rd time snow boarding and my friends tricked me onto a blue, spent most of my time sliding on my Rear lol, but the view was worth it

-10 F at Welch in Minnesota. I’m from California and it was way too cold. But, those crazy fuckers weren’t even fazed.

Well, I’m used to snowboard in Spain Mountains so the low temperatures aren’t a big travel. Las year in Andorra (JustBetween France and Spain) I was riding with 4 ºF (-15 º C) and strong wind. I almost ended up frozen.

My last day before flying to Norway for an event in 2001, I had to get some pics at Timberline lodge. Air temps was -4, with a 40 mph wind. So cold they didn’t even open that day. They claimed the temp, with wind chill, was somewhere in the -50 range. It sucked. Couldn’t even get warm hiking the park.

Here in Finland it’s not rare to snowboard in under – 20 C° (-4 ºF). I think the lowest I’ve snowboarded is – 28 C° plus wind factor. It’s quite chilly.
