snow-covered terrain
White blanketed ground
Snow-covered terrain is land blanketed in snow—ground where snow has accumulated and remains.
The phrase appears in weather reports, travel advisories, and outdoor recreation contexts: Hikers should be prepared for snow-covered terrain above 8,000 feet.
It often signals challenging conditions requiring special equipment or caution.
