Too cold to ski?
Any keen skiers lurking?The lowest temp. I've seen over the years on
Ceefax's ski info pages(421 etc.) is -33C at a Norwegian and a Canadian reort. Is it possible to ski in these extreme conditions without looking like the Michelin man or suffering terminal frostbite?It seems possible temperatures will approach -33C in the Alps in a few days.I don't know what speed skiers reach but I assume the windchill factor also enters the equation. |
