A unique, local phenomena that is affectionately called the 'BBC', or Bridger Bowl Cloud, which descends like a blanket over the east-central Bridger Mountains and leaves behind a prodigious amount of snow. In reality, the abundance of snow is not necessarily caused by a cloud, but rather a weather event called 'upslope precipitation', wherein the snow starts to fall when a cold, moist northwestern air flow moves through the canyon and is forced upward by the unique geography of the mountains, creating precipitation in the higher elevations, as seen here near Bozeman, Montana, US.

I need to correct something, I took this picture back in September of 2018, so it is actually an early fall day in Nevada. There was still a small amount of snow from winter on the top of Mt. Rose and as a side note, Mt. Rose had the most snow fall in the lower 48 last year and some of it stayed around until the winter this year.
Thanks for you awesome comment too.
Great mountain scenery on a fine, late-winter’s day in highland Nevada, USA!
The cloud formation in the sky looks like a bridge which you could cross on foot from one side of the mountain valley to the other quite easily! Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia
