-70ish with wind chill. My friend and I went up each wearing two jackets, multiple pairs of long underwear, glove liners, mitts, hand warmers, neck warmer, the whole nine yards, and we still only took one run...

hahah ya i was thinking that, dont most places have to close because of wind holds and/or frostbite dangers. ive been to the loaf when they closed at -40 which would be more like -50 with the wind. im callin bullshit on the -70's, thats rediculous

yeah when it was that cold for me I had to hike cuz all but the very bottom lift were closed. Good powder day though. They said if they had opened the lift and it broke people would be dead within 15 minutes.
