I don't know if you need Kona Snow *specifically*, but I've been using the Connecting Threads solid white for a few projects and it's good fabric too, and less expensive than Kona. I just ordered my third 8-yard "hunk" the other day!
It ravels a little bit more than Kona, about the same as a Bella solid, I'd say. (Not criticizing, just comparing.)

I received an email confirmation from a rep at Robert Kaufman's....Kona Snow is not going anywhere! Whew!
I found a seller on Etsy if anyone needs less than 8 yrds-she is clearancing her Snow, $4.50/yd. I want to purchase all 10 yrds from the same bolt, and her shipping was a bit high, but if you are interested, you can do a google search for her on etsy.

It's all the same. I bought a 8 yard bolt of Robert Kaufman Kona black at Marshall's Dry Goods for $19.92. It's not on the website though. It's in the back of the warehouse there. You may call and see if there is any available but the Kona bolts sell out fast to quilt shops.

Kaufman Kona is the same grade everywhere. Note that the *brand* name for Kaufman Kona is Kaufman. Some quilters confuse Kaufman Kona with muslin purchased from a different company by the name of Kona Bay. Kona Bay muslin is *not* the same as Kaufman Kona muslin. If you always make sure that Kaufman is in the name, you will always get the same quality of muslin because Kaufman makes a point of keeping their Kona muslin the same quality everywhere it is sold. Kona Bay is a completely different manufacturer.
