Some foods just don't take to freeing, KT and snow peas and snap peas are among them. Even the professionals, who have all the resources they could desire, can't sell a package of frozen snap peas that are crisp.

I like my snow peas so crisp that when I make Chinese food, I simply take off the strings and lay the snow peas on top of the batch a few seconds before sitting down to dinner. Any cooking makes them mushy.

I think you have to bite the bullet and either eat up all your peas in season or live with frozen peas that have mushy pods. Even frozen they are good food.
