It's ash for sure. It's suppose to mirror the whole "fire is a killer" talk that Simba had with Kovu (at the site of the fire that Vitani and Nuka set) - hence the repeat of a paw swiping some away to show the plant. Also, with the way that the ash lifts and blows away in the wind, it definately is not snow.
"Simba, let me tell you something my father told me. Look at the stars. The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars. So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you. And so will I." ~ Mufasa
