*BLAM!*
You've just been killed by a sniper because you've been standing there 
examining the details of the environment for an hour or so :P

Possibly not as hard as you might imagine anymore, thanks to Physically 
Based Rendering.

(As for the snow, it's a very subsurface-heavy material, probably even 
significantly anisotropic, and proper simulation of SSLT is still 
anything but trivial. It's also one of the few cases where a strictly 
physical approach gives you a particularly hard-to-handle 
parameterization. Anyone who has ever toyed around with POV-Ray's first 
incarnation of SSLT, back in the 3.7 beta times, might know what I'm 
talking about.)
