Where's all the snow and ice?

As I still can't start a topic on another forum and another race forum is run like a dictatorship this is definitely the place for me to start a topic  :)

So...why aren't there varied climates in this season?  I've looked at some classic past seasons, and they could go from a hot climate to a really cold one.  They are really restricting the number of countries now, even staying in places for 2 legs instead of giving us more places and more variety.  Ice climbing, sledging, snow trekking, snow boarding, bob sleigh, huskies...all kinds of things have been done before and added variety to the race.

Well there was snow in Germany, but no snow related tasks

I think TAR17 was awesome because they visited such varied locations - English countryside, Arctic circle, 'Venice of the North', the Middle East, congested Bangladesh, concrete jungle Hong Kong.. so cool

Yeh there was snow in Germany, but basically in central Europe and not up a mountain.  I do like more varied tasks.  It's nice to have these local work tasks, but I think it needs to be mixed up with some more adventurous sporty outdoor tasks in extreme locations as well.

Reilly Queens:
TAR18 had the Matterhorn in Switzerland with snowy tasks.

starrynight:
Northern Italy has mountains.  Normally though for snow/ice tasks they've gone to Alaska or Northern Scandinavia.
