snowshoed
Traversed deep drifts
Snowshoed is the past tense of snowshoe, meaning to walk over snow using snowshoes—flat, wide frames strapped to the feet that distribute weight and prevent sinking into deep snow: We snowshoed three miles to the cabin.
The activity is both practical winter transportation and recreation.
