Your winter scene always gave me the cold chills as I think you got it spot on. Every time I see it, I think of all those yerars of skiing at Whistler Mountain before it became a world class resort. Your upgrade is well done and I especially like the ice comming down the rocks.Thumbs Up

Outstanding job. 

That said, new fallen snow does not stay clean very long, so I don't see a need to replace it just because it was getting dirty.

I added some dripping ice in the rock crevices. And some rocks along the bottom and weeds around the pond.

And the snow on the tracks was removed and new snow laid down and glued.

I've decided its time to update my winter scene. The snow is 3 years old and dirty. So I vacucumed up the layer of dirty snow.

I created some rock outcroppings. I also created a small frozen pond. I just poured the water for the pond last night.

I still need to add the new layer of snow. And I will be adding icicles.
