I'm sure someone could rattle off all the combinations, but I gently encourage you to think it through yourself, especially if you want to get into breeding.
Here are some guidelines:
The Mack snow will produce either snows or super snows if bred to a super snow, will produce normals, snows or super snows if bred to another snow, and will produce normals and snows if bred to a non snow

The female trempers will produce all trempers since the male is a tremper and the non-trempers will produce tremper hets

The raptor eyes, as I understand it, are eclipse eyes, so a raptor bred to another raptor will produce eclipse eyes, bred to a het eclipse has a chance of producing eclipse eyes and if bred to a non-het eclipse will produce het for eclipse eyes

You should now be able to take each pairing, sort out the traits they have in common and those they don't, and figure out what you're going to see expressed and what will be in the offspring genetically in het form.

Have fun. I find that it really adds something to the breeding experience to figure it out instead of having it all handed to you (kind of like the difference between using the map vs. the GPS to get somewhere).
