Early in August 2015, the skies unleashed many feet of snow on parts of the Southern Hemisphere. These pictures are helping me (us?!) get through the final heat of the North American summer as we look forward to the first snowfall.

 

 

We got about 4-5 cans of snow last night at @skiportillo @redbull Stoke is high as it continues to puke
