Is it ever too cold to ski. Around here there is a high of 5 and a windchill of -3, and I'm debating whether or not I want to go skiing today. Do you guys think it can ever be... tooo cold?

two or three weeks ago i was in idaho and the hill didn't open for the day because it was -17F outside.

anything below -30C is too old for me, but if you got like nasa suits then you could ski on the moon - if the moon had snow of course.

yes it gets too cold to ski, but not where you are right now. I've seen the mountain shut down cause it was -35 degrees out without windchill, and there were 85 mph winds at the top. The made everyone go in the lodge or go home, cause it hurt to breathe

look outside....if there is a sort of fog because it is cold....don't go skiing. All the humidity in the air has frozen, and if your breath this stuff in ice will form in your lungs. To enjoy a day like that you need a breather.

the only situation where it was too cold for me to be skiing was when the wind was whipping directly up the hill (and wind chill very low) so when it was combined with speed down the hill, it was too much for the face. so basically unless the wind is directly up the hill, not really.

I was out on friday when it was -10-15 with 20mph winds on the lower mountain and 30-40mph on top.  It wasn't too bad until I had to eat lunch or take skins on or off.

I usually have the die-hard attitude, but for some reason this season i've had to leave when it's like 18degrees out cuz i was so cold. My feet and my hands freeze everytime, and my toes usually just go numb within an hour and i ski through it. I have good gloves, but my hands still freeze. I never used to have this problem, and it's starting to piss me off. I think i probably have poor circulation in my feet and hands.
