Ice trail

An ice trail is left by Zomboni in which the player cannot plant any plants on it. It will disappear after 30 seconds or if the player uses Jalapeno to melt it. Wherever the ice trail appears, a Zombie Bobsled Team may appear on it, with the exceptions of Level 5-10, Dr. Zomboss's Revenge, Invisi-ghoul, Heat Wave and Survival Mode levels.

Strategies

 * See Zomboni for more strategies.

Ice trails can be very tedious if the player does not kill the Zomboni quickly, as they do not allow the player to plant on them, and can allow Zombie Bobsled Teams to appear. However, the player can destroy the ice trail using a Jalapeno to melt it. The other method is to use some strong plants such as instant kills to kill the Zomboni before it leaves too long of an ice trail. The player can eliminate the Ice Trail quickly by using a Spikeweed on the Zomboni that leaves it there. If the player doesn't get it planted in time, they can use a Jalapeno to kill the Zombie Bobsled Team and the trail at the same time.

Trivia

 * Ice trails cannot cover daisies.
 * If a Zomboni appears on Roof levels, then it will stop laying an ice trail after it reaches the slanted portion of the roof.
 * Strangely, tiny Zombonis (encountered via hacking) can leave a full size ice trail.
 * In the Almanac entries for Zomboni and Zombie Bobsled Team, there is an ice trail behind them.
 * In Invisi-ghoul, the player can see a Zomboni coming because the Ice Trail is not invisible.
 * In Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time, if the player gives Plant Food to a Snow Pea it will make it to shoot a lot of frozen peas and also it will leave a ice trail that slow down zombies but it disappears after a few seconds.
 * In the DS version of Plants vs Zombies, there is a glitch. The player can plant on the ice trails if timed right.
