Pass over country road in Arctic transport (3-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ski-plane

'arctic transport' is the definition.
(airplane with skis attached)

'pass over country road' is the wordplay.
'pass over' becomes 'skip' (synonyms).
'country road' becomes 'lane' (I've seen this before).
'skip'+'lane'='SKI-PLANE'

'in' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
