Temperature is molecular motion. since theres less air in higher climates, theres less molecules that make up the air, thus less molecular motion as a whole meaning a lower temperature. also, since sun light is concentrated on flat surfaces and diluted when the surface is more vertical (=l vs =/), less light hits the mountain. Since the snow is not warmed by atmospheric air or the sun very much it doesn't reach a melting temperature.
