snow-capped mountains
Frosted high summits
Mountains with peaks covered in snow, typically year-round or for extended periods.
The term evokes alpine scenery—the contrast of white summits against darker rock and sky: The snow-capped mountains were visible from fifty miles away.
Snow-capped is the conventional modifier for this image; snow-covered works but sounds less poetic.
