That works too.
What I was thinking of was Ennis' and Alma's headlong 'fall' down the steep snow-covered hill, the only time they look happy, but the path of their relationship already irreversible and hopeless.
And snow was the precipitating factor in Ennis' and Jack's fall from Brokeback.

Good one, Fern! I was thinking of the bookend to his headlong, irreversable fall as being when he ascends the staircase at the Twist house. But it's true that in this movie where there's snow, there's something going on. :D
