It's colorless. You could make it an artifact, but then you should change the flavor. I think there is some feasibility for colorless nonartifact creatures. Personally I'd like to see a 1 cost 1/1 changeling and stuff like that. Or there could be a return to masques-like mercenaries that are colorless nonartifacts. I'll admit that idea is perilous design space in terms of balance but I want to argue that there's no solid rule saying you can't do it.
I mean, there is a good rule against S in cost, but suppose it cost 4 and had an Imperiosaur-like restriction where you can only use snow mana to pay it's cost. I think that if were to be printed, this is how Albadian Yeti would look.
Albadian Yeti4
Creature - Yeti
Spend only mana produced by snow permanents to pay ~'s cost.
Whenever ~ becomes the target of a spell or ability, counter that spell or ability unles it's controller pays S.
3/3
The change to the ability was made to fit in any reminder text that would come with colorless nonartifact creatures, or to accomidate more (and better) flavor text. But yeah, that wouldn't be entirely unprintable if there were (1) a return to snow and (2) WotC decided to experiment with colorless nonartifact creatures.

To what cards are you referring? I did a gatherer search for colorless non-artifacts in Masques but couldn't get any hits. The only card I can think of is Ghostfire.

What I meant is you could take the masques mercenaries, which are black, and make a colorless variation of that idea. There aren't any colorless nonartifact creatures, but I say there could be why not? If anyone has played Warlords CCG, I'm basically talking about the Mercenary faction. Mercenaries can go into any deck really, suffering none of the normal penalties for playing cross faction, but they don't carry a special vulnerability like artifact creatures do in Magic.
It's understandable blue control players would be shocked and in denial at the notion of this card, since their decks have been dominating multiple formats for an eternity yet they've curiously never once had to deal with any counter-hosers that weren't ineffectual, narrow CRAP.
this is a pretty good card.
So congrats to Kenaron. Great awful card.
(This is not sarcasm. Indeed, this is the most praise I've given to a card of the month yet. Except maybe October.)

I would love one of those in my green/white decks. Shame it didn't win though.
