I was thinking of taking my Trip on an upcoming skiing holiday. Am I right in thinking that if I'm using, say HP5+, that I should set the meter dial to 200asa but develop the film for 400asa so I can get the over-exposure needed to avoid grey snow? Thanks.

That should do the trick, but watch it when you decide to snap some indoors shots 
Have fun on your holiday.

That's the idea with the exposure compensation, but you might find that a couple of stops is needed.
It will depend on how much light gets bounced off the snow on to the subject (you could think that he/she/it is surrounded by a huge ground-sized reflector) versus grey overcast conditions where the is not much "fill-in" effect but the meter still sees a mostly white scene.
