The mountain is covered with snow due to low temperatures at higher altitudes where the snow sticks and accumulates.

Snow can also be blown onto the mountain by strong winds, further coating its surface.
What are snow caps?
Snow caps refer to the white, icy covering on mountain peaks caused by snow accumulation.
