snowplane
Ice-landing aviation craft
A snowplane is a motorized vehicle designed to travel over snow, typically featuring skis or runners in front and a propeller or track system for propulsion.
The term applies both to aircraft fitted with skis for landing on snow and to ground vehicles built for traversing snowy terrain: The expedition used a snowplane to cross the glacier.
