They have rarely done snow (or icy areas) to start with.  But No matter my feelings on the cast I loved the start of seasons 6 and 4.  Both were quite beautiful.

DrRox:
I would love to see TAR16 start with a 2 hour episode after the Superbowl and before the Olympics. I know the always start with the fly to someplace and camp out. This lets the teams get used to the travel and lack of sleep, etc. But a good two hour episode with lots going on to get the viewers excited about new TAR......then take a break for the Olympics. Then the majority of viewers would be anticipating more TAR after the Olympics instead of trying to remind viewers to watch after the Olympics.......give them all a tease first........And Phil could always say during the previews that TAR will be back right after the Olympics........

Here is what Phil said about why we don't have hi-def:

...why hasn't "The Amazing Race" followed the industry trend and moved into high definition?

"I think it should be in hi-def," Keoghan agrees. "The complication, or one of the challenges that we have is that we do utilize a lot of foreign crews when we're traveling. It's very difficult to just turn up in Siberia and say, 'Oh, let's call the local guy with the HD camera and he can come down and supplement our shooting.' It's a little bit more complicated than, say, facilitating an HD shoot on 'Survivor,' where you can fly all of the equipment into one spot and you've got all your technical support there, you've got a guy who can sit down every night and look after the equipment. We're moving at breakneck speed, 28 days, flying hundreds-of-thousands of miles, or at least anywhere from 75,000 miles in a given race, so we just don't have the same luxury of being an 'Idol' or 'Survivor,' where everything is brought to one place, it's 69 degrees, where the air-conditioning is perfect. We're out sweating in Botswana or anywhere else and that's been a huge part of the challenge. But, I absolutely agree with you. I'd love to see the show in HD. I don't think there's a show on TV that lends itself more to HD."

Mister RC:
Lost my original, and much better reply, but basically that's understandable, the HD thing.  If they don't ever do this, that's fine.  However, if they had the season in HD, given all that it would take?  That would pretty much guarantee the emmy for life!

That, of course, barring something stupid that would happen to cost them the title, with or without HD.
