Taken at below zero temps at a park in Anchorage...I'd love to know if there would be a "better" way of processing this. I'm fairly basic at this point!

On my (uncalibrated) monitor, the snow shadows look very blue. Maybe it was too cold for even the snow. I would try masking out the sky and warming the image some, either using curves or a warming filter.
Snow and shadows in the snow will tend to show a bluish cast. Another way to tone down the blue is to add a Hue/Saturation Layer and then play with the saturation levers for Blues and Cyans until the bluish cast is removed from the snow.
Hmm...I wondered what would be said about the blue shadows. It was a blue-cold scene! To be honest, I'm not sure any other color shadow would look right to me here. But, I'll give it a go. Thanks for the tips!

Oh, I think it's fine that they stay blue, just a little less so.
i think it all depends on the mood you want in your photo. the first looks very cold and i would expect that in a winter/snowy scene. the second, however looks more natural. i like them both.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with the first one (the shadows weren't too blue for me) UNTIL I saw your edit - I like it better. Well done on both but I think the 2nd version is the keeper!
