    Half the snow load is carried by the exterior walls.

    If it’s a structural ridge beam (posting down to the foundation) the ridge beam carries the other 1/2.

    If it’s not a structural ridge, then the ridge is not carrying any load, and the load is all being carried by the exterior walls.
