Aaah...
Cool. Just please, oh please, play nice with the old ice tunnels set.
A small part does. This set is more above-ground frozen sites.
Jason Engle's maps are always great. I'm excited.
Updated with final description, product image, and sample images!
Oh god, my butt aches from all of the Acrobatics checks that Compton is going to make us roll with this map pack. TT_TT
These look really great. What I always find challenging about the map packs though is how to set up these 'feature' terrain tiles into a coherent battle map without generic terrain tiles to go with them to use to place around these feature tiles. In this pack the generic tiles would simply be white snow tiles. Anyone else have this problem?

Yes, you are not alone with that.
In this special case these maps could work as underlying "background":
Winter Forest
Mountain Pass.
These two are the only flip-mats which have "ice terrain" and one is long sold out.
There are other map-packs which work better by themselves or with another map pack, but some, like Desert Sites, have the same problem.
An okay stand-in for both desert & ice is this:
Basic, even if the colors are not exactly matching, they are close enough. ;-)

Exactly the very same problem here. These tiles are useless to me without a proper background. We have talked about this for long here but looks like paizo don’t care about.
These sets, like desert sites makes me think about unsubscribing from the maps.River system and road system at least have the terrain flipmat as a background, although unfortunately the green color doesn’t match...too bad

I thought it might be an issue for other folks. Thanks for the tips, I'll have a look out for Mountain Pass and probably get Winter Forest.
Paizo could do generic terrain tile sets with say 9 snow, 9 desert, then a sequel with 9 fields (a massive bugbear of mine) and 9 moorland. I have a big problem with moors. In the north of England I am surrounded by them. Consequently a quarter of my home brew setting is moors. Bad and interesting things happen on moors. Yet there are no moorland tiles or maps anywhere ever! So I'm going to lobby for a moors set. With heather, an old ruined farmhouse, a tarn (lake), a ruined tower, areas of peat digging, a large gnarled old tree, the bones of a dead stag or giant elk, and so on.
