"Snow" is the music that plays in the two wintry stages, Frappe Snowland and Sherbet Land. If I had to choose a favorite, it'd probably be Frappe Snowland simply because there aren't the annoying penguins skirting around and there are fewer caves to deal with.
As for how this theme, in particular, is offering wintry vibes, for me it's not so much the melody as it is the jingly bells/tamborine that start off the song. The higher pitch of the melody though is pretty typical for themes that involve ice and/or snow, but apart from that, there really isn't much else about this song that screams, "Watch out how you skid on the ice so you don't fall into the frozen lake all the while avoiding those damnable penguins!" Although, likely because I put so many hours into Mario Kart 64 back in the late 90s playing time trials over and over, that this song automatically sounds like it belongs in the middle of a snowy setting with bopping snowmen that are thankfully more forgiving than those in Slalom.
