In my experience these are skier terms and fall into a category of kind of casual jargon/slang. Nuclear winter sounds plausible to me, though! So maybe more of a folk origin than anything else. I'm totally guessing though tbh.

Ah, interesting. The skier component adds another layer of colloquialisms.
