snowmachine
Winter terrain transport
A snowmachine is a motorized vehicle designed to travel over snow, with skis in front and a continuous track at the rear.
The term is standard in Alaska, where snowmobile dominates elsewhere in North America: We took the snowmachine out to check the trapline.
Snowmachine may also refer to a device that produces artificial snow for ski slopes or theatrical effects.
