Unfortunately, Bungie is not one of those people. But if you don't think the developer of the game should agree with the list, then so be it.

Actually the article you linked implied that the underground structure was Forerunner, but the two bases are Covenant in origin:

Between the two bases lies the only unshielded entrance to the Forerunner installation below. This is the only way to get a Ghost in there, since the other entrances and exits are all protected by Covenant one-way fields.

It's far from conclusive, but it does kinda imply that the above ground structures are Covenant, or at least that the shield doors are, which does fit with their distinctive aesthetic compared to the rest of the structural work in the map, more similar to Covenant themed maps.

It is a Covy/Forerunner combination, both of you are right in this debate. I would side with Peg that it is Covy thou, simple so that we can have more Covy maps. Compare sandtrap with this idea. Since we see a phantom on the map of sandtrap we don't classify it as covy. So there for it is to the majority of a map what section it goes to.

Indeed, or if not the majority in simple terms then the most defining aspect of the map. For Snowbound, I'd say that the bases are more dominant in terms of their aesthetic and design being reflected in gameplay (1 way glass being a key example of Covenant aesthetic actually being a defined gameplay aspect) than down low, and the only real Forerunner influence is the back ramp to down low and the underpass where the Ghost/'Goose spawns, much less defining than bases imo.

Yeah i was gona say lol, i thought Snowbound was a covenant installation on a forerunner world. Hince why its purple not gray.

[Belly391]

yeah snowbound is covenant. if you read the map description it refers to the covenant and the colonization thier or something alon those lines

[Urban Myth]

I beleive that the Covenant used snowbound but I think the origin was Forerunner based because the Covenant used Forerunner technology.

P.S. Don't flame me if I'm wrong, just a guess.

Heres a pretty good resource in my opinion:

Human:
Blackout
Foundry
Ghost Town
High Ground
Last Resort
Longshore
Orbital
The Pit
Rats Nest
Standoff

Forerunner:
Avalanche
Citadel
Cold Storage
Construct
Epitaph
Guardian
Narrows
Valhalla

Covenant:
Assembly
Heretic

Misc:
Isolation – Forerunner. Strong flood influence.
Sandbox – Unknown. Forerunner influence.
Sandtrap – Unknown. Forerunner, Human, and Covenant influence.
Snowbound – Forerunner. Strong Covenant influence.

well the forerunner influence is over whelming in sandbox and sandtrap.

Isolation - forerunner
Sandbox - definitely forerunner
Sandtrap - I guess that's debatable
Snowbound - could be both but since there are hardly any covenant maps I'll leave it there.

Also this thread seems to have created a massive debate about the origins of the maps.
