I'm working on a snow material myself but i'm having a hard time figuring out even where to begin. How are you able to get the blue color in the shadows while having the highilght areas being white? I'm trying to do this with SSS but am not able to figure this out at all. Any pointers?

I know it's nearly one year old. If you use Daylight environment, the shadow will appear blue hue on a white surface automatically. No trick involved. Shadow tint is affected by sky color. If you attempt to render without using Daylight environment, you can add a plane with sky color emitter to light up opposite side of sunlight emitter.

Is someone going to post snow shader in LiveDB sometimes soon? I'm looking to load it in my scene hopefully soon.
