Here is an early (1913) snow machine or snowmobile which predates the Eliason and Bombardier early snomobiles. I don't know if this was ever commercially manufactured. This machine is basically a motorized horse drawn sleigh, with runners like a sleigh. The body is very sleigh-like, and the occupants would basically freeze their ass off. Other early snow machines are here.

It’s great that more people are focusing on making better environmental choices. Plus technology is making it more economical now, and that’s what people really notice. Wind energy, solar power, hybrids and zap EV’s, our choices are good. There are now electric cars being sold everyday, you just plug it into a regular power outlet. When people test drive them they say it’s far more fun to drive an EV.
