Kessler (my 13 year old son) on the summit of Jacque Peak, 13,211 feet (4027 meters) yesterday. When I snapped this photo, the windchill was -54F on the new chart and -81F on the old! We all had a quite the adventure (Kim and Shaylee came too, but not to the summit) over the past 4 days!

There are plenty available.

The actual temperature was -17F and I estimates the wind gusts at 45 mph.

Perhaps the easiest is to use an online calculator:

Or you can find it the old fashion way:
