Did you find out how do set up the engine? I have the same problem.

Nope. There is one major critical error i kept making and i could'nt figure it out. Its sad becuase I've got a passion for skiing and some mapping skills thanks to Source SDK. I would love to learn the ins and outs of CryEngine but its going to have to wait.

Maybe this will help.

Install the Cryengine SDK, load it up without associating snow to make sure it works by itself

Copy All folders from Steam\steamapps\common\SNOW\SNOWGame\
to C:\CRYENGINE_Build_PC_v3_5_6_1833_freesdk\GameSDK\

Keep the folder structure the same within SNOWGame and GameSDK. Just copy paste and replace anything that has the same name.

For example, the same file CliffLargeTop_Pointy.cgf should be in both

SNOWGame\Objects\Environment\Natural\Rocks\CliffsLargeTop\Pointy

and

GameSDK\Objects\Environment\Natural\Rocks\CliffsLargeTop\Pointy

Copy Sialia over to the CryEngine Levels folder.
Load Sialia in CryEngine. Make edits/redo map
Move spawnpoints wherever

Save as new level
Move level back to SNOWGame/levels

Loading in snow:
load level by opening console "~" when in game
type : map name
example for sialia
map sialia
press enter and it should load.

Here is a guide to help make Terrain. Either way, I recommend using heightmaps to start a base for the terrain, and then work from there. It will take you forever the manually pluck at the map.

Good luck!

Thank you so much!! Very helpful for me and hopefully others.

Couldn't get the level to open... I tried copying "forest.cry" into the level, and renaming it "sialia.cry", but CryEngine crashed when trying to open the level (it couldn't find "Forest_skydome.cgf" even though it's clearly part of the SDK).

Any ideas?
