nice work man, red white & you was always such a fun trip.
you already said you know you went a little overboard with the effects, so that's good.  you had some cool ones in there but it was a huge mix of effects so that made it feel less cohesive.  if you want to use some effects just pick a few and keep it consistent throughout the video.
you also had some cool color grades, just make sure that you don't get too carried away changing the hue of the snow, and once again consistency is key.
