Plus, from what I recall the Snowspeeders were better equipped for the snow. Likely more maneuverable in atmospheric conditions, as the X-Wings were made primarily for space combat. I know the wings being closed gives them better maneuverability. And they needed the X-Wings to escort the transports.
