Appearance
Snow Angel typically yields flowers heavily coated in milky trichomes, resembling fresh snowfall. The buds are compact and bulbous, with pronounced sugar leaves. Coloration ranges from forest to olive green, often contrasted by orange pistils that deepen with maturity.

The flavor follows suit, presenting mint, sweet cream, and pine on inhalation, with lemon zest and cracked pepper on exhale.
Effects

Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Lab-tested batches commonly show a terpene profile dominated by myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene, with supporting notes of pinene and ocimene. This cultivar is THC-dominant, typically testing in the medium-high range, with low levels of CBD.
Growing
Snow Angel is noted for its fast-onset frost and robust trichome density, making it visually appealing. It responds well to cultivation techniques that favor shorter flowering periods and high calyx-to-leaf ratios. Clonal fidelity is important for maintaining its desired terpene balance.
Origins & Lineage
Emerging in the 2010s, Snow Angel is attributed to hybridization efforts in the Pacific Northwest and Northern California. While precise lineage is debated, hypotheses suggest crosses involving Snow or Snow Lotus with OG-leaning strains, or White family genetics paired with a minty counterpart.
