I think that snowball fights were considered too 'juvenile' once the decision to be explorers was made. Nansen didn't have snowball fights, after all. There's a comment when the S and A's meet the D's. "What are you, really? We're explorers." Of course, there may have been any number of fights before the D's showed up.
We see the same situation in PP- Roger plays Indian, but everyone else is serious about mining for gold. Ironically, Roger, while playing, is the one to actually find the 'gold.' So much for seriousness.
