Shooting in Snow
Basics for snow shooting - overexpose for detail...

When your camera "sees" snow, its bright white color can throw off the white balance. The results will be a photo that looks too dark or bluish in tone. Some cameras have a snow shooting mode, to compensate for snow and lighting conditions. For those without the snow setting, use your camera's manual controls to adjust white balance until the snow's color is accurate. Watch your camera's screen adjust until the snow looks white.

Lighting tips for winter photos
Winter offers some fabulous light, especially in the morning and late afternoon. But it's tricky, too. The bright white of snow and ice reflects sunlight, and you end up with too much light in your pictures. This means less detail, less contrast, and washed-out colors.

You can try this trick also -
Turn on your flash: More light may seem like the last thing you need, but the flash actually balances out the light off the snow, filling in darker areas, so you get the picture you want.
