One of the meanings of "since" is very similar to the meaning of "because." However, there are some differences in the ways the two words are used, which are very hard to explain to a non-native speaker. So you should probably use "because" until you become familiar with the differences.

"Since it's snowy, let's go skiing"

2. Happening at a time subsequent to a reference time
