As an evergreen pine needle are not affected by the season but live their lifespan and drop when their work is done. Therefore they're are always needles on the pine and always needles dropping.

Pine needles stop falling late spring, after new growth. Interior pine needles, on the other hand, drop all year round.

Which conifers lose needles in winter?

Many do- but some such as the Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum) lose their needles during Winter. It would be best to look up the species that you have concerns about to see if it loses its needles.(Technically every tree eventually loses its leaves/needles regardless if they are evergreen or not- new leaves replace old ones as they fall out so it isn't really noticed by a casual observer... But that's just a technicality.)
