Baby its cold outside

MINUS 27 DEGREES

out on the slopes on Thursday.
It wasn't as bad as it sounds the sun was out so it felt warmer. The skiing was good groom runs but because it was so cold the nature of the snow changed and it was actual a lot slower because the grip increased.

It made me think of the polar explorers saying when it got really cold, the problems they had getting the sledges moving and the feeling that they where moving over sandpaper.

As for the cold as long as you keep covered up and not have any exposed skin its fine. We checked for frost nipped noses on regularly and took a couple of hot chocolate (not coffee as caffeine is bad at low temperatures as it makes the blood go from the extremities) breaks so we could warm up.

I actually felt warmer on Thursday at minus 27 than Wednesday at minus 7 because Wednesday was cloudy and snowing rather than clean and sunny Thursday.
