I really don't care if its 5 degrees outside. Actually i don't care about anything besides wind. Its been 20 mph everyday this week and that means sucky skiing. o and the wind adds to make it negative 18 wind chill. so anything but wind is fine. so haven't been skiing much let alone learning anything

Its like you'll be halling ass for this tiny rail then you stop right in the middle of it.

yeah, I'm bummed with the wind forecast tomorrow... ruins everything.  Might just stay at the bottom of the hill in the mini-park and work on my rail game

I haven't even tried to hit a jump. It's hard enough to hit a rail

Carry your purse, it will help block the wind.

20 mph winds actually affect your skiing?

I know. I saw this and thought, "what?" But that could be because at my resort 20 MPH is nothing. We're still open if we have 40 MPH sustained/60 MPH gusts. Am I missing something? And wind chills aren't even an arguable factor. Just bundle up, wear layers and you're fine. I don't get it.

When I was in Québec it was minus 20 let alone windchill. Suck that you haven't been getting out but I don't know what you're whining about so much. I love the wind and cold, I miss them in the summer.
