Snowboarding in -18 what!!!!

Yesterday I had a meeting at Northstar with 32-Boots at 10 AM. I decided to take a few runs before it. In the Martis Valley just before Northstar my thermometer read -18. That's the coldest I've ever seen it in Truckee. I started to think I was crazy for going snowboarding, but the snow was amazing. We had just got a huge storm dropping 2-3 feet of light, fresh snow. I only had an hour and a half, but wanted to get a few runs in. I worn plenty of layers and wasn't affected by the cold. I had a fresh track my first run and nailed a few stumps along the way. This is the first big storm so there's hidden obstacles all over the place.
