I personally like the Tundra more (first game was MHFU.)It just feels more alive. In the Snowy Mountains the only areas you could fight in were unusually barren in the background even. Although there isn't much of trees in the parts of the Tundra you can actually fight in, you see quite a few of them (which somewhat contradicts the name.)However, that doesn't mean I hate the Snowy Mountains, it's just that I like seeing life where I'm hunting so that I know that there is something more than just an almost barren mountain. Also, in the picture you posted Loss, it seems as if the Snowy Mountain has the same problems as the mountain in MH4 (although maybe in a lesser extent), but the only thing saving its butt is the lighting.

The best monsters to fight in both are Kushala Daora, Rajang and Tigrex in the Snowy Mountains, and Deviljho, Stygian Zinogre, and Giginox in the Tundra.

I feel as if the Snowy Mountains have a chance to come back, but it'd have to receive so much of an overhaul that it may not be worth it and they'd just make a much more dynamic mountain.

Oh, I hate the peak in MHFU. It's just so poorly designed that it makes fighting a complete pain in the neck. At least you could hop the ledge in P3rd.
