Just watch your iris....a bright sunny day, snow and a open iris could cause a washed out look that will not be pleasing to the eye.

Exactly. NO magical SCENE FILE settings here.
1. IRIS (Exposure)
2. ND

even with the ND64 you might need to close the lens to f16 in snow...an additional ND filter in front of the lens (screwon or via mattebox) will make life easier.
i tend to do a lot of whitebalance in snow. the colour changes every hour. snow can be anything from darkblue to dark red during a day. if you don´t want that.....whitebalance constantly. when a cloud moves in...whitebalance again or you get grey snow. and i do whitebalance on snow not on a white card.

Re: Scene Files for Snow
Any idea what gamma setting would be best? (I use cinelike_d with the 100A almost all the time)...but it may not be the best gamma setting on a sunny day with lots of snow.
Personally I shoot with chroma + so I can get some color in the trees, otherwise it usually reads as black with those tiny 1/3" CCDS.
I'm sure Aaron (and I) would love to hear any suggestions.
Thanks guys/gals,
