I've even translated the song in finnish and I don't think your option even fits together with the lyrics, at least from my point of view. x)

You know, it might be "pulveri" when translated literally, but have you ever really heard some call it that way? I haven't because it's not a word in Finnish language. When we talk about that kind of snow, we say "puuteri", not "pulveri" though it might be more correct if we want to be literal or something. "Pulverilumi" might sound better to you (not for me, sorry to say), but using a made-up word makes it more difficult to understand the title which is why I think "puuterilumi" is the more appropriate one. Not meaning to offend anyone here, but I think Eewyi is right.
One more thing though...
