This is really moving and visual.  Very nicely flowing and well put together.  No reason it can't stay as is, but there is a crescendo/climax passage through the 1:00-1:30 time that could work well as a finish, if you are looking for that difference.  Just some scissors and tape and you're set!
 
Nice work!

I like it! I think the highlights were the sections where you had the glockenspiel? chimey things? going. It certainly sets the mood of snow. I even liked the epic taiko type drums, as though trees were falling down into snowy explosions, or as if someone were shooting a cannon at me whilst I trudged upward.
 
I think you might take another look at the piano sample, what are you using? It sounded kind of two dimensional (as most piano samples do!) but maybe swap it out, or better yet just add some lengthy reverb to it? It's kind of dry as it is, compared to the rest of the orchestra in the forest, in my opinion.
 
this is a cool piece, thanks for sharing it.

I am really glad you liked it. I was playing around with Rapture Pro and a lot of it is done with it. The piano was from Rapture Pro, (Cinematic piano). The chimey things are also from Rapture Pro. The big drum and some of the strings are from East West. I haven't really explored Rapture as much as I should. I really appreciate the time you take to listen and the feedback.

Certainly invokes that sense of chill.  Mix came across nice a clean here, thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I am glad you liked it

Thanks for the compliment! I am really happy you liked it and it created the feeling I was trying to create. I'll take a listen to the crescendo part, for sure. I really appreciate the time you took to listen and comment.

Thanks again

That was really good, beautifully put together, and perfectly evoking the scene you set. Enjoyed that very much.

I grew up trudging up those hills.  I imagined a winter scene but not climbing up the hills till about 1:40.  I am not into that much electronica because much of sounds similar to me, not a bad rap on it, just not my personal preference.  This however made me feel good.  I loved those hills!

This sounds really good! Adventurous! The snow will start falling here in Norway in a couple of months, and you got the musical interpretation of this weather perfect in my opinion!

I take it as a real compliment that you listened to my composition even though it isn't your preference, and not only enjoyed it, but felt good. Thanks again.
