That is is problem with Calgary in February - it can be -30 C, or it could be +10 C with gusting winds.

Winds were too high at Nakiska so it was deemed unsafe to hold some alpine events on some days. They had to be rescheduled.
I believe most of the snow in Calgary had melted by the end of the games and they had to haul white gravel or something similar to McMahon stadium for the closing ceremonies...to mimic snow for the viewing audience.
