See if your camera has a preset for snow scenes.

To photograph snow scenes, you want to compensate the exposure by +1.5, maybe +2, depending on lighting. The reason for this is because the meter in your camera will register the snow as being bright and will want to under expose the shot which will lead to gray snow. Another option is to meter the sky (if sunny) and recompose to take the picture with that setting. As Stephanie suggested, if your camera has a "snow" scene mode, use it. That will usually take care of the compensation for you.
