Seems oddly restrictive by not just reading, 'Whenever you use a snow mana to cast a creature spell' or whatever the phrasing would be. I don't think that would be too powerful.

Maybe they don't want it to interact with colorless artifact creatures.
No, it's a little weirdly worded but what it means is if you payed for the cards colored mana with snow mana it gets the bonus. So if you uses a snow-covered forest to pay for Cultivator of BladesG you'd get the extra +1/+1 counter
In what universe? If you build a deck like that, and ever draw that hand, I will personally come to wherever you live, perform complicated acts of awestruck ********, then disembowel myself to escape the world that allowed something like this to occur and validate you.
It doesn't work with Boreal Druid. It has to be a snow permanent that produces colored mana that matches the mana cost. So if you have this and cast Cultivator with a snow forest it will work.

I'm wondering if there's some combo I'm missing that would have made it too good? Like with Walking Ballista or something

Yeah, I believe is you cast X as 1 for Ballista (XX), using snow mana, - you'd get a 2/2 ballista - which I guess they don't want.
I'll admit at first I simply couldn't read the card because I'm used to shortcut with "snow" in my head.
Once I got that you should replace it with the more complete description "a snow mana" it became clear and I have no problem anymore with the card except that it can definitely be confusing at first (but it eventually makes sense).

In card design its called a signpost. The signpost here reads 'play colored creatures with snow cards'. This is often used for things like draft.
It seems fine to me as the card is not asking you to pay an extra S to get the +1/+1 counter, just that instead 'did you for a colored casting cost?'.
So basically whenever your snow lands or snow mana dorks/rocks are used to cast a creature, it gets a +1/+1 counter. More reason to play snow lands.
