Hreed, you're off to a great start. Taking a class is a great idea, as is shooting in RAW and the advice to shoot in Av mode.
Shooting in snow is really tricky. If you were shooting in Av mode, then you could use +1EV to offset the sensor's desire to make everything white look grey. It's too early in your photography life to fully explain, but ask in your class. Also ask about "Expose to the Right" or ETTR, which is unique to digital photography.
Welcome to the group and I look forward to more of your work.
Canon's Digital Photo Professional is actually very good, but very clunky to use. I use DxO's Optics Pro, but most here use Lightroom and/or Photoshop. Photoshop has a steep learning curve. Study software for a few weeks before making a decision and diving into that.
