A method for forming an ice or winter road on muskeg during freezing conditions is effected by driving over the muskeg a vehicle supported on at least two rollers each of a width sufficient to span the vehicle and each having sufficient buoyancy to support the vehicle when floated in water such that the vehicle is carried on the muskeg by the rollers and such that the vehicle will float if it breaks through the muskeg. The vehicle is steered by articulation of front and rear sections of the frame and carries a drive motor and cab. The rollers have provided on the peripheral surface a plurality of generally conical projection members at angularly and axially spaced positions thereon and extending outwardly therefrom for engaging into the surface of the muskeg. The projection members engage through any snow cover on the muskeg into the muskeg so as provide an air channel for transmission of cold from the air into the muskeg for freezing water in the muskeg to form a layer of ice sufficient to provide a base for the winter road.
