-30C (-22F) isn’t uncommon. Usually a one or two week long stretch will hit in January. That’s the best time to come up for a visit.

So come to Kernville, CA and ski with us at Alta Sierra! Kern River Brewing is at the bottom of the mountain 12 miles from the skiing and it seldom gets below 20F (-7C) on our hill!

Calgary is a little over an hour away, for a small beer fix. A bottle run would help stock the hotel fridge well.

The weather there is variable. I’ve been in Banff in January and experienced +5C, so freezing isn’t a guarantee, just a likelihood. You can ski there of course, but I’ve always found anything below -15 to be a little cold for skiing, even when seriously bundled up.

Depends if there is a blizzard or not and no one else is on the highway. I guess you’ll have to wait and see that day.
