I was thinking of using a normal’s map to make the player leave a trail in the snow. Not sure if there is a better way. If any one can help me out many thank’s.

Use the decal system to make whatever material you want project into the ground

Thank you, I’ll try it out.

Glad too see I am not the only one who is working with snow. Here is a tutorial that helped me out a bit Unreal Engine 4 Footprint Tutorial part 4 - YouTube. Not sure if you want to use tessellation tho, dependent on the map size.
