A steerable vehicle is configured to assist drivers who are traversing a snow-covered roadway. The vehicle uses perimeter sensors including a far-infrared camera to examine the roadway in front of the vehicle. The vehicle is equipped with a driver assistance system configured to operate the vehicle into a specified path or operate the vehicle by remaining in the specified path. The vehicle uses a controller to support a lane-keeping mode configured to be active while the roadway is snow-covered. The lane-keeping mode inspects images captured by the far-infrared cameras for tire tracks of previous vehicles and roadway edge features both which create compact snow and may assist in determining a skirting path or an adverse navigation area. The skirting path may be presented to the driver on a display or can be autonomously followed.
