Only tracks I know of are for mud. I have never used them, but my uncle did and he loved them. They didn’t rut nearly as bad as tires and they turned fine. One issue I didn’t want to have to frick with was the grass getting in them while hunting moist soil. I don’t know if that would have been a hassle or not. My uncle had the farm hands clean his out, so he didn’t really know either. He also never put them on a blacktop road. I don’t know how they perform or last on concrete/asphalt.

I wouldn’t know if they made one just for snow or not.

One of the coolest things I have seen, was at The B.F. Goodrich plant In Tuscaloosa.
They had these prototype rear wheel/tires on the golf carts and buggies that their maintenance guys and security used.
They were a hard rubber tire on a hard rubber rim with flexible spokes.
The rim and tire would squat on the bottom like it was going flat and increase the footprint for traction, almost like having a small track. The maintenance guys loved them.
I don't know if these have ever been made available to the public, I haven't seen anybody with them yet.
