In Storm Peaks, there are dailies you perform as a Hyldnir (some kind of female Vrykul).  Each of the dailies rewards a bag that can have anything in it from snowballs to a 0.8% (accd to wowhead) polar bear mount!

Reins of the White Polar Bear

There are 4 dailies that eventually open up to 8.  That's actually decent odds for getting the bear (about a month, at worst).

Note: to open up this area, just do the chain for the Sons of Hodir - you'll hang out with these big&tall chicks along the way.

I have different priorities, but that's pretty cool if you want a polar bear mount and you don't want to pay for it.  When/if the time comes that I'm doing dailies purely for gold, I'll most likely throw these into the mix.
