Snow is a rare event in this forest, which actually makes a great year-round photography location. Due to it's elevation (approx 1000m) it will only see snow a couple of times a year, generally - and when it does get it, sometimes there isn't much of it.
I was fortunate to be able to visit it after a fresh coat of snow had transformed it, and even more fortunate to get some great light while there.
Due to the nature of the location, a lot of DoF is required to achieve front-to-back focus. Shooting at 50mm I had to focus stack three images to get a sharp scene from the closest tree right through to the farthest.

Have you thought about converting to B&W?
I have for some of the other frames captured on that morning. In this particular frame, given the sunburst and the golden light it creates I did not feel it would work as well. Some of the shots I took before the sun was very high though are almost B/W right out of the camera.
