Frozen Mountain Pass
A narrow trail switches back between snow-covered peaks, with drifts and ice patches closing parts of it off. A frozen waterfall clings to one cliff face and a small stone shelter sits near a bend in the path. Wind-blown snow softens the edges of the map, so how far anyone can see is yours to set.

Running this map
This is a travel encounter with a timer on it. The drifts are difficult terrain, the ice is a saving throw, and the shelter is the only thing on the map that stops exhaustion, which is what makes it worth fighting over. The frozen waterfall is a climb for anyone who wants the high ground.
The prompt that made it
This is the exact text the generator was given. Change a detail or two and you get a map that fits your table instead of ours, which is the whole reason the prompt is here rather than hidden.
A treacherous mountain pass in heavy winter. The narrow path winds between jagged snow-covered peaks. Ice patches and deep snowdrifts partially block the trail. A frozen waterfall clings to one cliff face. A small stone shelter or shrine sits near a switchback. Wind-blown snow obscures the edges. Cold blue and white color palette. Top-down, grid-aligned, battle map style.
Using it in a virtual tabletop
Suggested grid: 20 by 15 squares, 5 feet each
The map is drawn without grid lines on purpose, so you can set your own and have it line up. In Roll20 and Foundry VTT, upload the image, then set the grid to these dimensions and nudge the alignment until the squares sit on the terrain.
The file is a standard image, so it imports into Roll20, Foundry VTT, Owlbear Rodeo and Fantasy Grounds the same way any other map does. It also prints, if your table plays in person. For more maps of this kind, see the battle map generator.
