Oh that's easy.
First, download the image for an x86 system[1]. Note that if you want
16.04, then use [2]. Uncompress the image.
Now convert that raw image into a .vdi for Virtual box:
$ VBoxManage convertdd ubuntu-15.04-snappy-amd64-generic.img
snappy.vdi --format VDI
Now you can use the newly-created `snappy.vdi` as the HD for your vbox
snappy instance (i.e. when it comes to the point of creating a disk
image, instead of creating one, use `snappy.vdi`).
