Well, although it might look funny to have such a small mountain covered with snow, it needs that snow. It's supposed to be Mt. Everest, and the real mountain has snowy peaks. Same for the Matterhorn. It would look kind of funny if either one didn't have snow...it would break the illusion.

But I can see him having a shave ice cart around the rides entrance.

Just a guess here, but I'm betting that Joe Rohde would allow Mickey to climb Everest over his dead body.
