I don't think so, mate.
My point about all-white was only because that is readily available in IA's inventory. If there is a snow camo pattern planned, all the more better.
You see, when soldiers or even civilian climbers/field operatives (such as myself) spend extensive time in the snow, our eyes and senses become very attuned to identifying movement from far away and come to a conclusion.
This is common because sometimes in the wilderness, it becomes a case of life and death as we can identify wildlife (a very important role). I have worn camo patterns for days when stationed in remote locations as a part of my work to observe movements, patterns and identify threats to shooting crew before any real projects can begin. It is not as difficult to make these observations as this thread says.

To say that disruptive pattern is difficult to discern from 'old snow' is assuming that the observers in question are new to the terrain as opposed to the stationed snipers, scouting units, etc., whose literal job is to train their eyes to identify the slightest of movements.
Thus, it does not hold ground. Climatic conditions are given a priority in uniform for a reason since we are not in the 19th century where conspicuous designs were worn to announce the military's presence, as opposed to masking them.
