snow-covered
Draped in white
Snow-covered describes something with snow lying on its surface: snow-covered mountains, snow-covered rooftops.
The term appears most often in descriptions of winter landscapes or conditions.
Interchangeable with snow-capped when referring to mountain peaks, though snow-capped suggests permanent snow at high elevations while snow-covered implies a temporary seasonal condition.
