Does your phone actually hold up in extreme cold? — I'm a USC student looking into the problem and whether it exists for a project I'm working on for school.

I'm a USC student doing research on how extreme cold affects phones for people who depend on them outdoors. I've skied my whole life and this is something I've genuinely become obsessed with understanding — a ski patroller in Taheo I spoke with recently pointed me to this community and said you all would know this better than anyone, which honestly made me really excited to reach out.

I made a short survey which should take no more than like 5 minutes, and it's completely anonymous. No pressure at all, I just want to hear what people actually experience before I make any assumptions.

If anyone wants to chat beyond the survey, I'd love that too. Thanks so much!

Tailfin for ski touring

Just wanted to share how I use my Tailfin rack for skiing/skimo now in late spring. Super stable setup, well worth considering if you're into these kind of things. Posting hoping I help someone now or in the future.
