The Snowy Mountains are a range within the Great Mountains near Daventry. It was once known simply as the Mountain Range when northern Serenia (The North) and the bulk of the Great Mountains were moved beyond the Northern Sea by Harlin the Malevolent, leaving behind the Daventry continent.
Background[]
They lie to the north of the Kingdom of Daventry near the Door into Mountain. The range likely lies near the Westering Mountains.
The Snowy Mountains intersects with the Other World and the Sierra Mountains: Half Dome and Sierra water can be found here.
The location where Icebella's realm is is also referred to as the Snowy Mountain as well, and lies somewhere nearby the Half Dome. Suggesting that both areas are very close to each other.
Below the cliffs lies the Small Beach, location of the Landing Beach where Pirates often land to the west of Daventry.
The cliffs with the caves is roughly 700 foot high.

Snowy Mountain and Snowy Mountains
The "Snowy Mountains" is a name given for the mountains of KQ3 as found in the Official Book of King's Quest. They were referred to as the Mountain Range in the KQ3 Hintbook. In KQ3 the mountains are described as the 'snowy mountains' or the 'snowy mountain range', and 'great mountains'[1].
The mountains in KQ5 are referred to as the Snowy Mountain in a few instances of the Official Book of King's Quest perhaps to link the areas together. The name Snowy Mountain was the name for the area on the official Sierra BBS hint system and the Automated Hint Line.[2] The mountains are described as the 'snowy mountains' a few times within KQ5 (though the title 'Great Mountains' proper is used as well).
The Frozen Reaches were to be known as the 'Frosty Mountains' at one point of KQ8's development.
