A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature can attack, and its
abilities can be activated, only if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn. It doesn’t matter how long the permanent has been a creature. - WotCJul 15, 2006
Balduvian Frostwaker’s effect has no duration. The snow land is a creature as long as it’s on the battlefield.
- WotCJul 15, 2006
If an affected land later loses the supertype snow, Balduvian Frostwaker’s effect doesn’t end. The land will remain a creature.
