It's much more likely that it's 110 kph, not mph. Just saying.

Damn Nature, You Scary!!

We're going to need a "Damn Nature, you scary!" channel pretty soon...

*Nature. *Fear.

^ That calls for a "touché" if I've ever seen it.

Windchill? oh hell, I'll look it up:
If the air temp was 0 C, and it was 110 kph wind, then accounting for windchill, those poor saps are looking at -11 C. brrrrr... and you can bet the insulation of their clothing wasn't working at peak efficiency.

Upvote for the guy chastising the douchebag laughing at the people. Very rare in this sort of video.

100kph winds are nasty but it's just a bit of wind. This looks closer to 150-200kph to me. 110mph would be about 176 kph, sounds about right. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

WHEEEEE

If i was on the lift here, i'd be seriously considering that it was the end of the world.

110mph winds would have torn down the ski lift and the building next to it. It's definitely an exaggeration.

If they're wearing decent ski clothes then wind chill with be non-existent. The outer shell of most ski stuff is waterproof and wind proof, so wind doesn't make you any colder than calm air (otherwise skiing fast would freeze you to death).

Of course, not everyone wears proper layers, and I can only hope they didn't have any exposed skin.
