I bet none of you thought this was possible, but it is now official: the absolute zero exists on this planet...in a natural environment.. (See below, top left corner)
In Andorra of all places!
I am hoping it will have warmed up a tad when I get there in about 10 days... I am told movement is a bit difficult at those temps and that the snow might be a bit icy...  |
but will you be able to get away with a £50 jacket from the likes of D2B or is only a £500 jacket going to keep you warm enough?

bertie bassett,
We'll find out soon enough. I am in the £50 category!
As a back-up I am writing to NASA for any discarded space suit..

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

At least static build up on the ski bases wont be a problem, everything will be a superconductor!. Be careful on the chairlifts, they might be a bit brittle (so might eveything else including you)

absolute zero is -273.15 and your webcam says -273.5. -273.15 is theoretically possible to that number of significant figures, -273.5 is not, this is the only firm evidence you have that the webcam is wrong.
I remember a previous thread showing a webcam showing a temperature of below -173K, could this be a new tactic by the tourist board to convince people that the resort really is snowsure?

Might be a little tricky getting your breath back at 228.5 mbar as well

The snow will be perfect; since it will not even have rhought about melting, it won't be even slightly icy. Whether ir will be skiable or not, I' not sure. It won't change much when the pressure of your skis is on it, so it may be a very different skiing experience.
Wrap up well!

Kruisler, very interesting mechanics at or near absolute zero. If you consult Spyderjon, and get the right wax, your skis may have no friction over the snow. Fabulous. A full report when you get back, please.
