I did a race in -22 when I was about 16, catsuit and all. Had to duct tape my nose to stop my breath freezing.
Skied in -26 in Austria but there was no wind or icy particles in the air so it wasn't actually that bad.

Cold enough that we couldn't wear our GS suits in a race. After each run we were forced to go inside by the guys running the race.
