Kim,
It is nice to hear a ski lover, because in these temperatures it is very dangerous if you do not now what you are doing. But you are right, it is nobody in the slope and with the right snow and sunny it can be great. Already at minus 25 C you have minus 60 C in the slope, if you consider the windchill factor. It is dangerous if you are not covered up properly and already after a few hundred meters skiing, your ski mask have an ice layer from your breath. Melts in the lift although. When we were skiing I did the same, let it running. But I slept in my Caravan that was parked at the skiing area and no garage for the car during the night. The caravan had heater and additional heaters plug in to the electricity pole, plus the engine heater for the car. Below freezing at floor level and nearly sauna at ceiling, but no real problems.
