A one-pole shelter (e.g. teepee) properly staked down and guyed out is going to be pretty darn secure against wind and snow. Some winter tents come in this configuration.
I don't recall seeing a "twin peak" configuration winter tent. As you might picture, they won't shed snow as well.
But two poles can also make a dome. This is good enough for most 3-season use, but for serious winter or mountaineering, even dome tents will often come in 3 or more pole configurations. Increasing the number of poles and intersection points provide increased structuring / load bearing strength.
