The tracks to the extreme left running vertically appear to be deer tracks, judging from the hoof -like indentations.
The tracks running horizontally that you provided a close-up of appear to be of the bird family, or at least something that travels on two legs, judging from the long gait and single-line track. Unfortunately, the images aren't really hi-res enough for me to make a confirmed identification.
To be totally honest, it looks more like a Human footprint to me, maybe someone playing a joke... I can't think of anything that would make a heel indentation like that except maybe a kangaroo...?
Someone else might totally embarrass me and tell you exactly what it is, but that's my stab at it!

Bunnies hop... there would be pairs of them, and a buttprint between the pairs.
We used to raise bunnies, and those are definitely not bunny tracks.

Chupacabra?
or maybe it was some animal that was missin' a leg!
Rabbit?(Maybe it didn't stop betwwen hops to rest its butt?
)
or maybe it was something carrying something... so its tracks were a bit 'off'?

Those are rabbit/bunny tracks.
The two round ones are front feet the two other ones are rear feet, he/she was headed to the right.

Actually, the tracks from left to right have to be a mini-kangaroo... Notice the long tracks on either side of where the testicles drag in the snow?

I'm thinking alien and from the obvious left lean, they were made by a LIBERAL alien.

Clearly those are train tracks. I'm guessing a Zephir.....
Seriously though, look like bunny tracks to me.

Jackalope, dealt with them in NAM, tricky S.O.B.s, takes a mortar round directly to the left antler to put one down.
You and your family are very luck to be alive.

I am sure glad I don't drink anything while coming across your posts.
The first picture, the tracks to the right which seem to be very smooth and swaying are female rabbit.

A Cotton Tail Rabbit. Have lots of them where I live. The only other rabbit in my area is the Jack Rabbit and it would have jumped longer strides.
