As much as I hate GW, their Valhallan Blizard texture paint is ideal for snow bases. Just slap some down on the base and you're done. No effort involved, and it looks better than any of the fancy recipes at the end. |

I used to have a complex recipe for it all, but now just do a 50:50 mix of (craft store) white paint and white glue with some water to get to a workable consistency. While wet, I dip it in Woodland Scenics flake snow. link |

Looks awesome! I picked up a snow paste recipe a while back which I've been using to excellent effect. Mixture of white PVA glue, white acrylic craft paint, baking soda, with some Woodland Scenics snow flock sprinkled over the top while the paste is still wet. Some pics. showing various bases: link
