There is a wrongness in you that can only be purged with fire.

Is it possible the Elves keep all others below this 'exclusion' zone, out of safety or some other reason?

It looks good to me! I may even swipe it for Ereb Altor.

Regarding Loner not making much sense: I suggest a racial Intolerance to outsiders, which is often traded for Loner in the more open-minded individuals who venture outside the frozen wastes.

Some sort of self-reliant Advantage seems relevant, though.

Can drop the Snow-white option easily enough, but I think someone with the skin color of a mime is not necessarily fair. Too much of a good thing and all that.

Big whale oil is.

It could be. But taking it gives up the full terrain adaptation. But I guess that a pair of snow shoes would solve that.

I could go there, but I'm thinking of going with the idea that this place is log lost, and even the Elves don't know of it.

Ideas to consider.
