Trafficability of snow trench floors with natural and milled snow surfaces, and covered by aluminum landing mats and by neoprene-coated nylon membrane was investigated in connection with possible development of subsurface transportation system that would be unaffected by climatic conditions; of methods studied, rubber-wheeled traffic on dry processed snow floor appears to be least expensive and most adaptable to subsurface transportation.
