As of now, there are mounts for plains, desserts, water, sky, and even undead variants of all of these mobs, but there is still no option for the snowy biomes!
I am suggesting two things that I believe fit this drop perfectly: first, a new mode of transportation called the "Dog sled," and second, an undead, hostile wolf variant called the "Stray Wolf."
Dogsleds would function much like how players use boats on ice currently, only far better. Crafted with a few slabs, the dogsled can be tied to Wolves using leads (other mobs could be used as well, but might not listen as well, ignoring or even attacking the player instead of pulling the sled). Similar to how a player charges up a jump on a horse or a dash in a camel, they would repeatedly charge the reins to cause the Wolves to run in the direction the player is facing. The sled should have the ability to "hop" up one block with the Wolves so that uphill travel is possible. This could be extremely useful as the sled wouldn't be immune to sinking in powdered snow, and would obviously build up a lot of speed on ice.
Stray Wolves would be skeletal Wolves that pull Strays on Dogsleds as they chase and try to attack the player. The arrows of slowness combined with the Wolves biting at the players heels are a perfect combination, and the wordplay is too perfect an opportunity to miss. Please Mojang, this belongs in Minecraft as part of the next drop!
