Snowmobile

Built for use strictly in frozen terrain, snowmobiles typically use a pair of articulated skis up front for steerage and a wide caterpillar-type track for propulsion. Most are set up to carry at least two people, though some are built to carry even more and/or tote cargo, and as with just about everything else that moves, they can be set up to race. Frequently regarded as a fun-times machine or a hunter's/trapper's best friend, in some areas in Canada, Alaska and elsewhere, snowmobiles are the only way to get around for half of the year or more.
