It is typically formed by , which first creates a cornice, which may then grow to reach the other side of the opening.

Dangers
A snow bridge may completely cover the opening and thus present a danger by creating an illusion of unbroken surface under which the opening is concealed by an unknown thickness of snow, possibly only a few centimetres.

Snow bridges may also form inside a crevasse, making it appear shallow.Tony Holt (Spring 2002) "Berner Oberland Haute Route Journal", Chauvin Guides International, archived 2007-08-13.

A snow bridge is thicker and stronger at the edge of a crevasse; therefore, a fall through a bridge usually happens at some distance from the edge. Mountain Operations (September 1947) United States War Department Field Manual FM-10, p. 204
