step 1 of 11
I created a snowy texture based loosely on a stone wall tutorial (http://www.lunacore.com/photoshop/tutorials/tut028.htm) and substituted the desired snowy shades fron the original stone shades.
step 2 of 11
I drew an igloo-style grid over the source pic, then isolated the pen work to drag over my snow texture.
step 3 of 11
Pen work applied to the manufactured texture.

Condo is placed onto the hillside and a door is cut in with mask and soft brush. A shadow is begun behind the structure.

step 7 of 11
Shoveler was dropped into the scene, shaded with brushes, etc. The snow texture was dragged onto the picture so I could cut out some snow to look piled beside the dug path. It's kind of hard to see in this shot.
step 8 of 11
I've highlighted and shadowed the structure, started the path leading away, and added blowing snow. (note that the man in the window is not included in the final-his source not recovered until after I removed him)
step 9 of 11
Further work on the path and other details.
step 10 of 11
The shoveler's girlfriend moved in so the guy in the window was replaced by her. ;)
