Back in the mid-80s when I actually skied down mountains instead of faceplanting the entire way, me and a buddy spent a week in the Italian Dolomitis in a place called San Cristina (Wolkenstein, auf Deutsch, formerly part of Austria). It's not too far west of Cortina where they held the '56 Winter Olympics. Stunningly beautiful place, etc.
Anyway, maybe we hit a Siberian cold front but we both agreed it was absolutely the coldest skiing we had ever done and that included north facing slopes in Maine. Beats me how people do it in, say, Jasper.
We both ended up with minor frost damage on our faces. My cheeks still hurt whenever it gets cold but I live in the desert and that almost never happens.
And when I first hit LA in 1980, in January we'd go to the beach during the day and ski Wrightwood or Big Bear (local resorts) at night. And back then I was dumb enough to actually go in the ocean in January.
