https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/25/world/orange-snow-russia-trnd/index.htmlSkiers and snowboarders were met with orange-tinted snow in Sochi, Russia, this weekend.
The usually powdery white snow turned colors due to a sandstorm that blew across the Sahara Desert in North Africa.
"We're skiing on Mars today," exclaimed one social media user as he skied down the slopes
The sandstorm made its way through Greece up to Russia and was so big that it could actually be seen via NASA satellite imagery.
