snow coach

Tracked passenger vehicle

A snow coach is a large enclosed vehicle designed to transport passengers over snow and ice, typically used in national parks and ski areas.

Unlike snowmobiles, snow coaches carry multiple passengers in a bus-like cabin mounted on tracks or oversized tires: We took a snow coach tour of Yellowstone in winter.
