You find snow drifts mostly in open areas that has been covered or are being covered by snow.
The wind blows the snow and it lands on the ground in rippled mounds quite like waves on the sea.
They occur most often in light, fluffy snow, but pack down over time and are quite solid.
SnowDrifts occur when a big gust of snow topples on top off another object and make a big mound of snow. They relate to sand dunes.
snowdrifts form by snow and ice
Drifts can mean a lot of snow

Drifts can mean a lot of snow
During a snow storm, a combination of snow and wind together form dunes, or snow drifts. Snow drifts are mounds of snow that build up during a storm.
Those are snow drifts next to my car.

Among the pine trees, snow drifts and rocks.
Inside their fur... They also burrow into the snow drifts...
The fierce wind blew the snow into great drifts which blocked the highway.
Building buildings off the ground in Antarctica allows the katabatic winds, which are constant, to blow ice crystals under the building and this technique prevent snow drifts. (Even though the snow drifts are fairly easy to shovel out -- there is very little humidity thus very little moisture in the snow ((it squeaks when you walk on it)) -- shoveling out the drifts does take time away from the work at hand.)

I drove right into three different snow drifts on the way home. I don't like the way my car drifts.
The likely word is "tobogganing" (riding sleds down snow-covered hills or drifts).
