"Ski resorts are closed!!! and it's not due to global warming."

Yeah, it is. For every degree C increase in temperature, water vapor pressure goes up about 8%. In addition to meaning more rain when it rains, it means more snow when it snows.

Does record snowfall disprove global warming?

To claim that record snowfall is inconsistent with a warming world betrays a lack of understanding of the link between global warming and extreme precipitation. Warming causes more moisture in the air which leads to more extreme precipitation events. This includes more heavy snowstorms in regions where snowfall conditions are favourable. Far from contradicting global warming, record snowfall is predicted by climate models and consistent with our expectation of more extreme precipitation events.
