Just googling "Ski resort (country X)" for fun.
"Ski resort South Africa":

That is not very promising.
It's that bad? Guess you have to blame global warming. Looks like South Africa would have to host the games in Antarctica if they wanted a real chance. Or go the Dubai route and hold it all indoors. If Qatar can buy the World Cup and Dubai has a ski resort, then I could imagine some petrostate building the infrastructure and trying to argue for it (although no petrostate is in the Southern Hemisphere). Although if I were a wealthy oil sheikh and wanted to hold a Winter Olympics in my country (for who know what reason) and there was no Antarctic Treaty or anything stopping me from mining Antarctica, I'd probably find a way to expand my business to Antarctica to tap that rich source of fossil fuels (and probably precious metals and rare-earths) and with this new infrastructure, I could have a ski resort in Antarctica as part of the tourism industry I'd develop in my "Arab Antarctic Territory".
I would be interested in seeing what you could do with the Winter Olympics in Africa. Ifrane in Morocco is over a mile high in the Atlas and has a climate which produces a lot of snow in the winter. There's probably other spots in the Atlas in Morocco and Algeria which might be acceptable.
Not in the southern hempshere is a ski resort in India. India has won a total of 26 medals (not gold medals, just medals) in the Olympics, half in field hockey, and is the least likely major country to host the games, well least likely after Bangladesh and Pakistan:

Yeah, this is the best chance for a "tropical" nation to host the Winter Olympics. You might be able to do it in Nepal or Bhutan too even though neither nation has the infrastructure or economy like India does. Maybe even Burma, if Burma ended up developing quickly and not having a civil war since independence which includes Kachin State in the north where the best mountains are.
This is what came up for Brazil:

If the summer and winter games were always assigned to one country, they would definitely have had to pair with another country.
Reminds me of how there is a ski resort in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Gatlinburg is relatively cold in the winter, but despite being high in the Applachians, doesn't receive much snow since you're still in the South and the Appalachians haven't been a major mountain range for many millions of years. It's like how in the 2014 World Cup, there was the very minute risk that the venues in Porto Alegre and Curitiba could have snow or sleet (which would've been interesting to see). The highlands in the south of Brazil are more likely to have snow (and actually do every year), but it seems totally like Gatlinburg--it's all artificial and fake. You won't see a Brazilian city hosting the Winter Olympics (outside of Antarctica) for the same reason you won't see Atlanta or Knoxville host the Winter Olympics--it would be 99% fake. That almost sounds like a comedy, in an ATL where the Summer Olympics and Winter Olympics are assigned to the same country, some local politicians in Georgia and Tennessee trying to get the "1996 Winter Olympics" hosted in Gatlinburg or something--a great way to make fun of Southerners/Appalachia and far kinder than something like Deliverance.
Yeah, you aren't holding the Winter Olympics in Brazil outside of the Brazilian Antarctic Territory.
