The Slide Shooters

I find in sketchy lighting situations like this one, it's good to put the palm of your hand in the same light as your scene, take a light meter reading off of it, then open up 1 stop. Poor man's incident metering, and it works with camera meters too, so I don't have to carry anything additional with me. Of course I also have a light metering app on my smart phone, and sometimes I use that instead of the camera meter. I'll do that too if I'm using one of my cameras that doesn't have a built-in meter.

I also had some woodland scenes turn out dark without any snow.

Maybe your metering was 'fooled' by the large amount of White Snow and by shooting into the Sky with that large White area -- I would have used an 'Incident' reading with my Weston Master OR given 1.5 stops MORE exposure on Camera meter.
