It was in 1985-86, I think, it got down to -40 in Denver...and once up in Colorado ski country it was -50. I had a nearly new Toyota Tercel and she started right up in -40 weather...no problem at all.
When I was skiing at Hunter Mountain in upstate NY a few years ago. It was about -5 F at the bottom of the mountain but probably at least a few degrees colder at the top (not to mention windier). I kept running inside for a hot chocolate after every run.
