The mountains reach into the sky, disappearing into the clouds near their peaks. Snowfall is extremely common, and the temperatures can reach the negatives in the winter. Caves scattered about offer some protection, but any animal not designed to survive here will perish if they try to make it their home. Due to the nature of the terrain, heavy therapods would be putting themselves in great danger traveling here, though living in caves at the bottom of the mountain can be ideal ambush areas. The temperatures in spring and summer are in the 50's, while winters easily drop into negative double digits.

In winter, Utahraptors are known to climb the mountains to have a safe place to lay their eggs. This keeps them safe from larger dinosaurs, but attacks by dragons aren't uncommon.

As far as dragons go, two species live permanently in these rocky, cold mountains. The first is the Skrill; a dangerous dragon that can channel and redirect lightning from storms. They have lived in these icy mountains as well as on Glacies Island for countless generations, always a danger to any creature living there. The Skrill above all other dragons is vicious in its killing method, and with storms so often brewing in the high clouds, countless Utahraptors have fallen prey to Skrill. Stormcutters are the second native species. Though they are found North in colder areas, these dragons will usually find a cave system to keep them from the rougher snow storms. They are agile and can easily avoid Skrills, and they often have competition over food as large prey is rare at high altitiudes.
