You could come to California. Skied yesterday at Dana Meadows just inside
the east entrance at Yosemite. Delightful go-anywhere just right
crust-corn skiing on wide-open rolling meadows.

I think it's a little early yet. Even Chile:

Do a search in this group for "New Zealand". I posted a similar
question ~2 years ago (I think, in May, too - got depressed b/c of
seeing dandelions in my backyard).

Lots of places have XC skiing tracks on glaciers where one can train
in our summer. The Dachstein Glacier at Ramsau in Austria is the
closest to me and is my favorite.

We've had posts in the past about the endless skiing year, where
people dream about skiing each month in a different location,
different continent or different hemisphere.
Search in Google Groups for their suggestions.

Plenty of snow in the Italian Alps by the looks of todays Giro stage finish.

My mother, in central Alberta, says they've been getting a bit of
snow every day for the last week- it melts during the day. But
I read that the Elk Pass area of K-country got 30 cm of snow May 4-5!

I suppose May and June would be the best time of year for skiing across
Greenland!

Apparently in Norway it is a tradition on 17-May (Norway's National
Day) to ski from Finse railway station (elev. 1222 m ) to the top of the
Hardanger glacier (about 1700 m). Finse is easily accessable - several
trains per day from Oslo.

Here is an article and photos from a Swede who
infiltrated the Norwegian festivities last 17-May:
