Thanks arsheesh and I have in fact gone back and re-read your tutorial. The upper part of the map represents lava (I've been having a hard time getting that right) The client asked to me add snow to lower part of the map and I realized that I had never modeled snow before. As I often do I just set off and kept trying things until I got something that I think looks pretty good.
