I'll give you a slight hint on where to find one. The map is called containment...

Unless you are completely out of ideas and resources for textures, don't use Containment's. Make or find custom textures from the internet...there are tons of them.

Most will agree with me when I say find your own first. Then if need be, use Bungie's textures as a last resort.

I looked a long time for a good snow texture, but they all seemed to have one thing in common: they were all pretty much just white. I recommend focusing on bump maps and glossyness to make your snow just right. That said, I'm not entirely sure what snowy look you're going for, so take this for what it's worth.

I actually used a base Bungie texture but enhanced it with a little of my own technique and came up with a good 512x512 texture. Granted it's their base texture but it looks much better than what Bungie's original was like.
