Snow is a complex geomaterial whose macroscopic response is governed by density, temperature, and the topology of its evolving microstructure. Its mechanical behavior spans elastic, plastic, viscous, and failure dominated regimes, imposing significant challenges for numerical methods, which intends to simulate large deformations, evolving free surfaces, and complex boundary interactions. This work presents the first integration of a Modified Cam-Clay constitutive formulation for snow into a purely meshfree strong-form collocation framework based on the Generalized Finite Difference Method. The main methodological contribution is a numerical coupling that combines a global implicit mixed formulation for pressure and velocity with a constitutive return-mapping algorithm.
