Snow map
Snow has already started falling on Spawn Island
Fans had long theorized that the Battle Royale map of Fortnite was about to be transformed into a winter wonderland and it appears to be coming true.
Snow has already started falling on Spawn Island and players have taken this an indication of a potential snowstorm in the game.
Further, reports of the approaching iceberg seem to verify this theory that winter is coming.

Decoding
What does the second teaser show us?
The second teaser reveals a look at a character riding a snowboard with the words 'A frigid day dawns...'
While this could signal a new form of transportation, what is more interesting, is the smaller figure behind it.
At first glance, it appears this figure is falling, but on closer inspection, it seems the character is using a zip-line, which could be added in-game.
Theories
Rumors in August had confirmed that game would have zip-lines
From the image shown to us, Donald Mustard, Worldwide Creative Director of Fortnite, Epic Games has confirmed that the larger figure is a female skin of some kind.
He tweeted the image saying she is here to shred.
As for the zip-line, rumors back in August had confirmed that zip-lines would come in the game with grapple guns, making dynamic movement exciting.

Update
Third teaser coming soon
Notably, the sequence of teasers shows Epic zooming in on the same image.
The first picture showed a giant regal figure with a smaller figure snowboarding down its shoulder.
The smaller figure was zoomed in on for the second teaser, showing another character using a zip-line.
If zooming in persists, the third teaser should provide insight into the zip-lining character.
Personal
Keeping the gamers on their toes
With Epic continuously urging gamers to look closer, it is inevitable it has some big surprise planned for Season 7 and the constant urging is keeping fans on their toes as they cannot wait for the new season to arrive with exciting new content.
