There are many threads on this subject already that list some good ideas. I personally use the ribbons taped to the center of the bottom plate. Another one I've seen is to take the singing part out of musical cards and attach those to the disc. Just listen for your disc in the snow
Just watch your disc. I used the ribbons for about three holes before I ripped them off. Hated them. I play twice a week year 'round, and have never lost a disc in the snow. When I lived in Upstate NY, we played in hip deep snow regularly.
Learn to recognize the marks a disc leaves when it breaks the snow. After awhile you'll get to be very good at it, just as a hunter gets better at tracking his prey.
Also use landmarks every time. If there's not anything near your disc, use a tree on the horizon, and walk straight towards it. Watch your step as you're stirring up the snow, and look for "the gash", not the disc.
If you really want to use ribbon, wrapping paper ribbon is light, waterproof and brightly colored. The thinner the better. Someone else suggested using cassete tape ribbon, as it's even lighter.

This will be my 4th season of playing in the snow. I've never tried ribbons. But I've never needed to. I've only lost 1 disc. I've lost more to creeks and ponds in 1 summer than I have in 4 winters. Just listen to the Chief, he's got all you need to know.
Go figure...I just got back from my lunch break round and I decided not to use the ribbon disc and lost a good Valkyrie in 4 inches of snow/over 330 ft+ drive/ big open area. Looked for about a 1/2 hour and gave up. Luckily I found it completely buried on the way back to the car when I finished. Needless to say, I'll be using the ribbon disc until we see more meltage....
