snow-capped summit
Frozen mountain top
A snow-capped summit is a mountain peak covered with snow, typically year-round.
The phrase appears in travel writing, nature documentaries, and descriptions of alpine scenery: The snow-capped summits of the Himalayas rose in the distance.
Either word alone often implies the other—summits are frequently snow-capped, and snow-capped things are usually summits.
