What can i improve?

First, please provide EXIF data.. Camera, focal length, F/Stop etc.

Your picture appears quite washed out, the sky appears over exposed and would have probably been improved with the use of a polorising filter, there's too much of it anyway, without clouds to add interest, it's just empty space.

The picture lacks a subject.. Something that draws the eye. If you were to crop this vertically so that the path fills the foreground, the tall tree on the left hand third reaches almost to the top of the picture, increase the colour saturation and contrast, apply a graduated filter on the sky, and then slightly increase the exposure, the picture would probably look a lot better.

Really you need something in the near distance.. A fence post or a big rock or something, to create a sense of depth. The trees to the right of this photo don't do that because they're the same shade and size as the trees behind.

This photo was taken while the entire scene was in shade. Does the sun ever arrive on this spot? Especially in the early morning or the evening, when a sunset or sunrise might add some more colours to the scene.

That path of snow was a perfect opportunity to use a leading line. Also, colors first thing at sunrise or just at sunset are fantastic for shots like this. Landscape photography is about timing as much as it photography.
