snow tracks

Footprints in white

Snow tracks are the impressions left by animals, people, or vehicles moving through snow.

Hunters and trackers read snow tracks to identify wildlife and follow their paths.

The term also refers to specialized treads or attachments that allow vehicles to travel over snowy terrain: We fitted the ATV with snow tracks for the winter.
