In order to make the Snowcasting feat (Frostburn, p. 50) more useful in warmer areas, or during warmer seasons, I am looking for a source of snow or ice that never melts.
This can be a spell that enchants snow or ice in such a way (preferably permanent), or supernatural snow or ice that simply never melts for one reason or another.
It could also be a magical item crafted from snow or ice — as long as it fulfills the standards of the feat, and does not melt in warmer climates.



Does such a thing exist in D&D 3.5, and if yes, what ways would there be to obtain it?

          A simple solution is to carry a small chest lined with Blue Ice (Frostburn p. 80). The material's details how to create a room that keeps things cool. Ask your DM if you can create/buy a similarly fashioned chest. Depending on how hot the environment is, you could perhaps even make the chest itself out of Blue Ice.

              Simulacrums are "formed from ice or snow". Probably the most expensive route to take, particularly consider your DM may rule that using the Simulacrum as a spellcasting material reduces its hp, but I thought it would be worth adding to the list for the sake of completeness.

                It may be wise to use a simulacrum of a creature that's not subject to critical hits as that usually means the creature also doesn't have any vital spots. That is, the feat Snowcasting requires a handful of snow, and an ooze simulacrum might react better than a sprite simulacrum when the snow wizard takes out his bladed ice cream scoop!

                              It may be wise to use a simulacrum of a creature that's not subject to critical hits as that usually means the creature also doesn't have any vital spots. That is, the feat Snowcasting requires a handful of snow, and an ooze simulacrum might react better than a sprite simulacrum when the snow wizard takes out his bladed ice cream scoop!
