Mountains aren’t afraid of winter—they’ve got altitude attitude!
They’re just too cool to get cold.
They’ve already got enough on their plates with the snow, cold just doesn’t pile on.
They wear snow caps.
This joke anthropomorphizes mountains, attributing human characteristics to them by suggesting they can wear “snow caps.” In reality, a snow cap refers to the snow that covers the peak of a mountain, resembling a cap. The humor lies in the playful idea that mountains can protect themselves from the cold in the same way humans wear hats to stay warm, with the “snow caps” serving as their winter headgear. It’s a pun that plays on the double meaning of “cap,” both as a part of a mountain and as an item of clothing.
