It will be interesting to see what the attrition rate is - especially today. -13f now (8am) and it's only going down from here. I'm geared up for pix but whether there will be any subjects remains to be seen.

Yikes! That is simply really, really cold. Keep covered up yourself! (At some point eye-ball freezing is a worry - don't forget to shut your eyes for a bit if you're having them bare at other times for photo-taking!)

Wow, Clint you are a trooper! My hunch is the largest attrition happens somewhere between online registration and parking lot.

Yup... And I don't intend to venture too far from the lodge either... But I don't have much (anything really) for SkiO photo stock, so out I go.

Bring something "insulated" to stand or sit on while you're out there. I have neglected to think about how much cold would go from the snow to the underside of my feet and regretted not having at least a piece of cardboard or something.

Will be on snowshoes with insulated 3-pin xc boots. Went for a test run and seems good. Plus I plan to keep moving...

Ok stay stafe! I love how dedicated you are to getting good shots!

It was around -12F when we were racing. In the woods, no wind, no problem. I had over boots for the feet and 3 buffs - chin, cheeks and forehead. Big concern was fogging and glazing my glasses, so didn’t breathe thru a buff. Basically, I was quite comfortable.

The parking lot was windy and cold and the temp dropped another 5 degrees by 3:00 on the way to Saranac.

Sounds relatively tolerable!

Oh good, glad it was ok and you got out there! I for sure would have at least tried if I were healthy...
