is it safe for you to be out in weather that cold, let alone expose your bare face to it?

Cold is all relative, Tremblant seems to be at minus 25 with killer wind a fair bit of the year making it dip into the -40's but just bundle up and take a bunch of breaks in the chalet and it's all good...after all even skiing in -50 is better than sitting here in my office all day long.

its been like 60 by me too, it sucks, I need snow.

Worst weather skied in was -82 Farenheit with wind chill, at the top of Stowe, VT. Only the Quad was running, all other major chairs were shut down because of wind. You could literally stand up and put your arms out and stop.

Coldest air temp (non-wind chill) exposure was -45 Farenheit walking home from a party at UVM, thankfully the walk was a short one.

As far as frostbite goes, heat the skin slowly. Do not use hand warmers or stuff like that, just use other body heat. If need be, take a shower/bath in luke warm water (basically right about room temperature). If you expose frost bitten skin to temps that are too high, you will damage your skin.

Also be aware that once you get frostbite, you are more succeptable to getting it again.
