The serious answer?
Snow is crystalline H2O, which reflects 100% of the spectrum. Other minerals that are 'colored' absorb certain wavelengths of light due to their chemical composition and the reflected light - the absorbed light = the color you see.
Liquid H20 transmits light.
If you need more, you'll have to get a physicist who can give you data on crystal structure and light transmittance/reflectance.
