'spooner voicing note skids' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'trips in the snow' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'trips' could be 'rides' (I've seen this before) and 'rides' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'sleigh' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'and' acts as a link.
