No WVO here.  Since Shell closed it's Saskatchewan bulk suppliers, I'm
forced to use marginal Co-op branded fuel.  I have enough problems with
that, never mind adding to it with polymerized veg oil :-) Winter fuel used
to not gel, but that varies now.

Coldest I've skied is -40 on the nose at Louise. A cold day skiing is better
than a warm day at home any day. I have cold weather gear, so it's not that
bad, but 40 is the limit.  There were only us few prairie nutters that drove
12 hrs to get there on the hill anyway.  Locals thought we were nuts, which
we were... but anything that doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?
