Seems like it'd be tempting to just use speedlights when it's that damn cold. Very cool place to shoot, but it's a damn shame that the whole place has gone to waste. My dad used to be a treatment team leader up there when the Academy was still around, and after they pulled out my dad and a few of the other guys were ready to run it under my dad's nonprofit corporation and do a whole bunch of community related stuff up there, but the county wouldn't let them. They said they were waiting for a venture that'd employ people with minimal education but still pay them high salaries. Brilliant.
