You can entertain yourself for a long time looking at other pics on this site too.

I don't know Jared. It looks like a snow vehicle and I'm guessing there are a couple more skis on the other side (?)
The wheels are likely just to move it around when there is no snow.
But the drive system, I dunno, looks like some kind of turbine doesn't it?

Yup, just like we use on our Indy cars, right Cody?

It's a radial aircraft engine, the blades have been removed. What looks like 50s Ford car front suspension, landing gear of some sort in the rear, but i don't see any place to mount wings, so maybe it just skims on the snow. I searched for a good hour or so and didn't come up with anything.

FOUND IT!
It's an Aerosled K30, Russian (or rather Soviet), used in Siberia and North Kazakhstan.

Of course!
I love finding "new" Soviet-era vehicles, they had so much interesting stuff over there that wasn't public information here. For a taste- google "russian ground effect planes" and see what comes up. Some really ugly aircraft in that search, but interesting tech.
