The relevant settings are:

virtelev =  (virtual_elevation) {
   virtelev =  (float2) {
      x = 3500.0,
      y = 0.0
   },
   virtcurv = 5000.0,
   snowmin = 4900.0,
   snowsat = 6000.0
}

Snow is generated from snowmin elevation, full snow is at snowsat elevation. The elevation is virtual, equals the real one only at the equator normalized on the equator, and with rising latitude it gets higher by virtelev.x*cos(lat) + virtelev.y*cos^2(lat)

 

 

Visual Aid! (Thanks Awac9) You can play with the numbers to vary the snow cover and even the roads and runways can get heavy dustings! Hopefully the developers will eventually make this a simple slider so we wont have to fiddle under the hood.  ^_^
