Hello /p/. I'm a photoshop noob, so I was wondering how I might go about darkening the overly white snow in this picture, and anything else I could do to improve it.

1: did you shoot in RAW format? If yes, it's more flexible with controlling exposure as long as you didn't completely blow out the snow.

2: Crop sucks.. original composition is way better

No, shot as a jpeg. No way in hell a nikon coolpix L11 would shoot raw.

And yes, now that I look at it, I like the non-cropped one more, too. I need to level the horizon a tiny bit though.
