snowcats
Tracked trail vehicles
A snowcat is a tracked vehicle designed to travel over snow, used for grooming ski slopes, transporting people in remote areas, or accessing locations where wheeled vehicles can't go.
The enclosed cab and wide treads distribute weight to prevent sinking.
The snowcat made its way up the mountain to rescue the stranded hikers.
