Is it true that glaciers form on mountains where snow accumulation exceeds melting year after year?
Yes. A reference source states directly that a glacier forms where snow accumulation exceeds ablation over many years, and several glaciological sources describe glacier mass balance as the budget between snow accumulation and melting.
