Question

Is 7 degrees and wind at 17mph, too cold for snowboarding???

Answer 1

no i live up north and it was -4 and i was still going but just dress warm or you will get frostbite

Answer 2

No way. I went up this weekend in northern idaho and it was -10. plus the with wind th wind chill factor was -30 degrees. Just bundle up and watch out for frostbite. The coldest times are on the lift and up on the peaks but once you get going you'll be warm. Just bundle up in layers. Make sure you take breaks every once in a while and go to the lodge to warm up.

Answer 3

yes probably. Its the wind that will kill you. 17 isnt that high but its still pretty high. usually 15mph and under is pretty good. but 7 degrees and wind will probably make it feel like its in the negatives from my experience.

Answer 4

Noo thats fine

Dont worry about it...... i think ive been in worse but it will be a little bad but it will blow away

(get it... blow away)

Lol

Answer 5

Not too cold at all.  I routinely ride in weather -15 F and colder.  You just have to be prepared for the cold by dressing appropriately including full face coverage.  When I am riding I am quite warm: it is the lift ride that is cold!  Make sure you check each other out for frostbite on any exposed skin.

Answer 6

it's never to cold. just dress warmly and in many layers. layers as in a thermo then a shirt than maybe a thin jacket and your shell.

Answer 7

god no. i was just out snowboarding last weekend at -21. just wear enough layers,  cover your skin, and go inside when you start to get pretty cold. especially if your doing park stuff then you'll definitely stay warm and if not hike up, too.

Answer 8

Not if you are dressed accordingly.

Answer 9

it's never too cold to snowboard...just wear lots of layers...and cover your face
