This is going to be a big winter

I have spent several winters in Yellowstone/Jacksonhole were it was below zero much of the time.Also in Stowe VT I experienced windchill readings below -60F. Cold and dry condition net the best powder! Winter here always leaves us wanting more. Too see a 1' of snow in the mountains is not uncommon.

The coldest temperature I ever experienced was in Gunnison, CO when we went on a family winter vacation to Crested Butte when I was about 13 years old.  The low temperature the morning after we arrived there was -38F... and that was the actual air temperature, not wind chill.

Gunnison frequently records the nation's lowest temperature on any given day.  It has to do with how the town is oriented in a relatively low spot between high mountain ranges.  The cold air tends to settle in there.

That was intense cold!

Alamosa is nearby and is frigid in winter, too. Crested Butte is one of my favorites though.

Crested Butte is on my top 5 places to ski in the US. My brother was stationed in Colorado Springs for awhile so I had the chance to really scope out the mountains. I cant really remember the exactly actually temp reading but I remember it being in the -30F range. I believe it was in Northern Yellowstone.
