I don’t have too much experience taking pictures when there is a lot of snow or reflective surface so I went out and got some advice. Here is some from outdooreyes.com where I found a great article called: How To Photography During The Winter by Philip Tulin.
An excerpt says:
How To:
The snow reflection goes from forty to fifty percent with dirty snow, up to eighty to ninety percent with fresh fallen snow and even higher reflection with wet, fresh fallen snow.
1. If the freshly fallen snow is pure white, meter the pure white area only with spot-metering. There will not be any detail in the snow. Open up 2 stops.
2. If the snow is side lit and you see a lot of detail in the snow, then the snow is not pure white. Pure white has no detail. Textured snow is 1 1/3 to 1 1/2 stops lighter. If you open up to 2 stops, your photograph will be too light.
3. If the day is sunny and the snow is in shadows, it can vary up to 1 stop.
4. If the day is overcast, meter the snow and open up 2 1/2 stops.
