A family wedding being planned at a winter ski resort. I am expected to be there. However I suffer from asthma (controllable) however extremes of temperatures do me no good at all - e.g. high summer temps here - I am indoors with fans going - I can cope with high temps abroad as I am always then by the sea with the sea air. However in bitter cold weather here - to breath in cold air is not good and if I have to go out, wearing a scarf around mouth and nose. Never been anywhere bitter cold - so have you been and what do you think? I will check with doctor but if as I suspect the advice is NO - all hell is going to break loose! I don't really want to take a chance and be the spectre at the feast and spoil a happy day. |

Trouble is Lisa - I know what it feels like when the cold air hits my lungs and yes flask of hot tea - fine - however one of the bits I have picked up I think a large sleigh takes the guests up the mountain to the lodge for the wedding - so it looks as if no matter how I try I cannot avoid the cold air. Dont want to mess up a happy day. |

Cant honestly say how it will affect you. I've been skiing a couple of times and, this may sound silly, but up in the ski resorts it's a completely different type of cold. I went 2nd week in February both times to France, and can honestly say never felt that cold even though the temperatures were someway below freezing at times. It feels colder here now then it did skiing. It's a different type of air, clearer, fresher. sorry that's not much help. Kxx |
