For only the second time ever, the mountain's snowfall surpassed 500 inches in a season. Which means you

If you really want to make winter last forever, head to Oregon—Mt. Hood Meadows just extended the season
through mid-May after three feet of snow fell in the past month. Slaloming down endless powder is really the
only way to celebrate Mother's Day.
