I think there may be something to the Skyforge being tied to the snow tower. The statement however that "Snow Throat a mountain whose apex is only half here", may refer more to the elder scroll itself that caused a tear in time.

The elves themselves created the majority of the towers, every major race seems to have created their own. It stands to reason their may be towers in every land they once held sway.

Towers

 * White-Gold, Chim'el-Adabal- Ayelids
 * Snow Throat, Unknown- Unknown(possibly the Falmer)
 * Walk-Brass(Numidium), The Mantella- Dwemer
 * Ada-mantia, Zero Stone- Akatosh
 * Green Sap, Unknown(probably Falenisti)- Bosmer possibly
 * Crystal-Like-Law, Unknown- Altmer
 * Red Tower, Heart of Lorkhan- Trinimac
 * Orichalc, unknown- The Lefthanded Elves located on Yokuda

Possible Tower Location
Pyandonae- Maomer Atmora(Elder Wood in elven)- Unknown extinct race

I also seem to remember somewhere that Skyrim is such a violent country because that is where the majority of creation took place, kind of like the worlds forge. This could tie into its stone, perhaps the Skyforge is literally where the barrier between Oblivion and Nirn was forged seeing that is definitely a shrine to Kyne.
