I'm 63 and have had allergic asthma and EIA since infancy. Cold, dry air is the real trigger for many people. I've got the Ventolin/Flovent doses working well for me, but Dave's #3 suggestion is the one I have found to be key to not having an adverse event. I use an acrylic scarf of not too tight a knit, and I wrap it over my nose. It recaptures moisture in the air just enough to keep me from reacting.
I second the idea of trying to not overdo the albuterol too.
