The article deals with the movability of transport and technological machines in the snow. A description of changes in the characteristics of the snow cover, depending on the terrain. The dependences of the changes in the depth and density of snow, depending on the duration of the winter period. Based on the statistical data for the most recent data dependences, and lists the date of occurrence, the loss and the steady descent of snow according to the meteorology station Shahunya. First presented according to the deviation from the average depth of snow on the results of route snow surveys. For the first time on the basis of the authors’ for dimensional plots in field and forest were obtained coefficients that take into account the influence of the landscape on the depth and density of the snow. The studies were conducted with the support of grants the President of the Russian Federation.
