Usually snow looks best if you use a light blue. It looks like the real thing and gives it a cold feeling as well.
You might want to check some pictures of snow covered mountains or ski slopes as well.
Hope this helps. |

in my experience, snow is usually a bluish color when in shadow, and a yellowish color when lit (from the sun). you could check for some references on google or something also. |
