So that should tell you a little about my baseline. ![]() That was preferable over being numb in every extremity with a frozen face. I had to wait for them for over an hour in a little shed with one old, very questionable space heater. My family can tell you about the time I jumped ship during a family snowmobiling ride in Breckenridge. Second, I have a very, very low tolerance for cold. So I was averaging 5-6 times per week, which is still pretty good. I can barely even brush my hair every day, let alone make it to cryotherapy every day.
