    Just like a Toboggan... you lean it into the turn, and hope that the track doesn't catch your pant-leg!

    The Eliasons were the first of the "personal-sized" snow machines...
    Someplace; I recall a video of one in action... I'll see if I can find it!

    Hey, you win the prize!! The artist is Steve Ditko. Dr. Strange first appeared in 1963 in Strange Tales. He was also the artist of Spiderman. Both characters were in Marvel Comics.
