It was one of those rare moments that reminds you skiing is not confined to one season or even one hemisphere - somewhere on Earth, snow is always falling."

While the snowfall totals were modest, psychologically it was a big moment."

A late-season storm cycle dropped more than a foot of fresh snow across parts of the Rockies, with resorts like Breckenridge Ski Resort, Copper Mountain, and Arapahoe Basin picking up significant late-season snowfall. A-Basin - the last ski resort still operating in Colorado - is now reopening for one final weekend from May 8-10 with discounted lift tickets, spring skiing, and live music."
"Across Europe, a late spring storm brought fresh snow back to the higher elevations of the French Alps. The Haute-Savoie region picked up new snowfall above mid-mountain elevations, while glaciers and upper alpine terrain returned to winter conditions. Les 2 Alpes remains open for lift-"
