A convertible motorised snow vehicle e.g. sledge having a traction belt 4, a pair of parallel skis 1a/b that are pivotally mounted to the exterior of the sledge’s, allowing the skis to move from a stored to a deployed position and a steerable ski 1c. When the parallel skis are in the stored position, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the sledge (fig 3b), the traction belt engages with the snow/ice allowing the sledge to be used as a snowmobile, and carry one or more persons up a snow or ice covered slope/hill. When the parallel skis are pivotally rotated by 90 degrees to a deployed position (fig 3a), and engage with the snow/ice, the traction belt is lifted thereby allowing the sledge to be slide down a snow or ice covered slope/hill. Preferably the parallel skis are mounted to hinges 23, wherein the user may manually move the skis and preferably lock the hinges in position. Alternatively the skis are held and moved into position by motors. Preferably the parallel skis have a curved profile along their longitudinal axis to facilitate the rotation of the skis
