I was one of the psychos that actually enjoyed winter mountain warfare trainin'... sleepin' in snow trenches, snow caves, occaisionally a four-man hooch... livin' out in the winter elements fer weeks at a time at 10,000 feet with only what yuh carry on yer back...
As a major cold weenie, I sincerely thank you for enduring that on my behalf.
