A region near the equator can only have snow at altitudes above around 4,500 metres or 15,000 feet.
However, because of the lack of seasonality in temperature and limited seasonality in precipitation at the equator, once one reaches an altitude high enough for snow to stay on the ground for a day, it will become permanent and form glaciers. This is why the snow line actually decreases between the Tropics and the equator from around 6,000 to around 4,500 metres. No glacier exists closer to either Tropic than on Iztaccíhuatl (near Mexico City about 470 kilometres from the Tropic of Cancer) yet numerous glaciers exist closer to the equator in the Andes, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and a few African mountains.
