My hill was supposed to open today, but it's cold and there is a windchill so they aren't opening until next weekend.  I was pumped to go today, but now I'm pissed.

It's -25 and -40 with the windchill.  I was still pumped to go.  It's supposed to be like this all week so I guess I've got to wait another week.

grab a board and use ur car as a drop in, that sucks tho i would be too pissed to even want to ski i dont get a place closing because its too cold, i remember a few years ago skiing when it was -31 celcius, the place was so empty and the snow was perfect, just had to keep all my skin covered and i was fine, maybe they thought nobody would show up

Yeah.  I've skied when it's been that cold before.  I live in Saskatchewan and it's always cold and windy.  Just cover up and you're fine.

just be happy that you get to go regularly. i live in freaking queensland, australia....where we've never had snow. i have to travel for a couple of days to get anywhere near the stuff and thats for maybe a week at a time.

Though i am heading out to niseko, japan in february should be quiet nice.

You do realize that by skiing in Japan you have nullified your argument for not skiing?  Ha ha.  What I would give to ski there.......

My hill does so they don't get sued by frostbitten, jeans-wearing gapers when it's -30 plus windchill out.  You'd think that people from the upper Midwest would realize that being outside in jeans in that kind of weather is a death wish, but somehow skiing makes people stupid and not think about how they dress or something.

Oh and my hill is closed today due to a blizzard warning (can't run the chairs) and tomorrow due to windchill in the -40 range and a continued blizzard warning.

Our vans couldn't get up the mountain today and probably won't get up tomorrow with huge snowfalls, almost a metre snow overnight going to be an epic powder day. But me and two mates made a quarter pipe in our backyard and hit that. SO wasn't such as waste.
