Ancient Myths, legends and tales are not for the unimaginative. Search for solutions and they will be rendered pointless. Mountains are alive and breathing and communicating mysteriously in the infinite varieties of lifeforms that they support.  The stories intimately connected to such surrounding try to honour just that. They hold something powerful,  a reverence or fear or an intertwining of both - for the splendid, the magnanimous and the ruthless abode of snow.
