A few years ago I did some dives with a hardy bunch in
Saskatoon Saskatchewan.  When the weather is very cold
they wear neoprene face masks or put masking tape over
their faces to avoid frostbite on cheeks, chin & nose.

I did some CRW with them.  It was 10 below on the ground.
We climbed to 8 grand in a Cessna 172 with the door on.
The exit, pushing out through the door was easy with the
aircraft throttled right back.

The temperature was warmer at altitude than on the surface!
Very pleasant CRW conditions.  I'm sure the dense air gave
us a lot more air time - the landings were very floaty.

                           Blue skies!
