In briefanswer capsule

The White Mountains are the snow-clad barrier shared by Gondor and Rohan. Hard pressed from west and east, the Rohirrim once withdrew into its dales. When the Long Winter opened in 2758, country in Gondor lying south of the chain proved less harsh. Orcs routed from Nanduhirion afterward sought footholds among these peaks, and combat filled the valleys for many years until the peril was spent.
