The snow line on a mountain is the boundary beyond which there is permanent snow. It is about 3,500 metres above sea level. The snow line's location depends on conditions such as elevation, latitude, proximity to the sea, climate, wind direction, exposure, and the steepness of the slope. In India, it occurs at 4,250 metres above sea level while in Europe it may begin at about 3,500 metres. Further North, at the poles, the snow line starts at sea level.

hello!

The Imaginary line on a mountain or a hill which forms the lower limit of perpetual snow is called snow line. Below this line the snow melts away and above this line snow never melts. The snow line does not exist at the same level everywhere on earth. The average altitude of snow line is 5500m in the equatorial region, 4000-5000m in the Himalayan region, 2700m in the Alps and 0m in the polar regions.

hope it helps... :)
