well, to be generic, dragons do show up everywhere. get a white dragon and have him collect frozen themed loot. heck, there are many good ideas for this kinda stuff in Frostburn

Frostburn, as mentioned is a good location to look.

Here is also my homebrew arctic world's bestiary:

You have a PDF Monsters by Environment. It is a random encounter generator when used with dice...

Certain whales as well are common in arctic environments.

But as for more land dwelling creatures, Ermines, Musk Oxen, and everything else that has been mentioned as well.

Depends on what snowy area we are looking at. High altitude? Polar Climate? Mid-Latitude? Equatorial? Those do have some bearing and could help determine more specific creatures.

All sorts of goats (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capra_(genus)), or possibly mountain goats (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_goat).
