hi everyone,
i hope you can help. i am looking for a realistic looking snow texture to apply to mountains (high resolution preferrably otherwise i'll photoshop it to increase the res.) anyone know of a site that will be nice. i can't find anything to satify me by googling images. so i'm searching for sites. i'm using vue 5 infinite in case you are wondering. thanx.

Why don't you just create it procedurally?

Agtree with Dave, procedural snow is better than bitmap.

If you want to see a killer image that uses snow on mountains, check out Bruno's Mt. Rainer post:

For closeup snow, I created a procedural snow mat that looks reasonably convincing (not as good as Bruno's however):
