I live in Colombia and here we only have three mountain peaks with snow, even though we have the Andes all across the country.
Yeah... the way I did the tapering of the climates with the mountains didn't quite fit what I was going for, I ended up with way too much ice there. It's okay though, that's a pretty rough estimate of where everything goes.
I remember reading an article about worldbuilding that had some info about the relationship of latitude, height and permafrost/glaciers, and I used it in an older version of the map, but by now I forgot where it was.
