If I'm right, the camera is overexposing, which means that the sky, the brightest object in the picture, will be white.
Try adjusting exposure (sometimes seen as +/- 0.0 EV) settings - lower them - to compensate. As in negative numbers. My friend'* cheapo Kodak camera can do it, so I don't see why any other decent camera wouldn't.

Well with the joys of digital, you could take two identical pics with different exposures and stitch them in photoshop if you really wanted a perfect shot.
Or if your camera supports it, it can take the same shot and apply different exposures to it and end up with 3 of the same pics that look different.

My signature picture was three seperate shots taken from a tripod: one for the snow, one for the car, and one for the sky. The sky shot was underexposed and i used a color balance called "daylight" on the camera. The car was done with "auto" color balance and "auto" exposure. The snow was done with "snow" color balance and "auto" exposure.
