VFR nav can be a little more tricky because the terrain looks very different and familiar landmarks may disappear. Lifting/putting down in fresh snow will result in a disconcerting white-out if you haven't been warned and told how to avoid it (Curtis gives one method) but even nondescript countryside looks beautiful covered in blanket of freshly fallen snow.

If you get the opportunity, take it.
If you feel uneasy about it, fly with a more experienced pilot until you feel comfortable.
It's an experience not to be missed.
