One of Anthony Hecht's image in his poem, Despair, is winter mountain.
Where I live, I can see Mount Hood when I drive around town. On clear winter days, I can see other mountains, such as Mount Saint Helens, when I am out and about doing regular, everyday things.
When I lived in Colorado, I lived in the mountains, so I got a very different perspective. And in North Dakota, the coldest, most wintry place I have ever lived, the land was flat. The only mountains there were mountains of snow.
Today's prompt is to somehow get winter mountains into your creative piece. You can write about a specific mountain, paint a mountain range, journal about hiking in a snowy mountain area, or create a picture quilt block with a cabin on a snow-covered mountain.
Have fun and stay warm!
