Hey man-- Great studies, and your own personal work seems to have a really strong sense of composition-- Way to go!
Since you mentioned that you feel that you're missing something in your paintings, I'm thinking maybe experimenting with texture brushes might do the trick? Maybe look to create or find granite/stone texture brushes and see where that takes you, to give your work more definition.
Look at regular mountains, too! Not all mountains will be pure white. There's dirt, and stones sticking out, and ice, and jaggedness. If you compare different mountains, and look at cliffs, and stones, and a variety of things to compare it with, you may be inspired, and may be able to take it one step further.
Here's some search terms I used:

https://www.google.no/search?q=ice+mount...q=boulders
https://www.google.no/search?q=ice+mount...now+cliffs
https://www.google.no/search?q=ice+mount...ce+volcano
Hope that helps!
