Hi Clifford,

"vehicle" does include snowmobiles. Essentially there is a hierarchy of
transportation modes that are explained at [1]. On the German language
version of this page there is a nice image explaining it [2]. So
"snowmobile" is in the "motor_vehicle" class, which itself is in the
"vehicle" class. Using vehicle:conditional would apply to everything within
the vehicle class (including all motor_vehicles and snowmobiles). You would
need to use:

* vehicle:conditional = no @ <months>
* snowmobile = yes

Here "snowmobile" is a more specific transportation mode than "vehicle" and
therefore overrules the conditional restriction. Replace <months> by those
winter months in which the restriction applies.

Regards,
Rob
