snow-capped peak
Frosted mountain summit
A snow-capped peak is a mountain summit covered with snow, typically year-round.
The term evokes alpine grandeur—distant mountains gleaming white against blue sky: The snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas rose above the clouds.
The snow cap results from elevation keeping temperatures below freezing even in summer.
