I envy the photographer's who also covered the Rio De Janeiro carnival. I hope to cover some of the matches during 2014. If an agency is willing to look at my images.

You didn't mention the biggest "challenge" of all... batteries don't last long at those temps. Last season I was covering an event held in Thunder Bay, Ont. It was so cold... the skiers were coming down the hill with their faces completely covered (windchill was -35c). Yep.. it’s a cold sport to shoot, but it’s also my favorite one to photograph.

As a swiss guy this is my favorite sport to shoot. I just want to add to difficulty to stand with spikes on your ski boot on a deep blue frozen slope and the wind in your face (a killer). I usually take a thermos of tea with me just in case ... Very true !
