20' snow machine?

How is this done? Pic posted on another forum, not sure where its at.

The walls look like they were made from a snow machine with a 20'-30' blade.

It was probably done with a big snow blower

That is what they use in my canyon, Little Cottonwood.

and who's letting them drive on the wrong side of the rd?

Thats exaggerated too because of the snowblower making the banks taller. It's really only about half that deep.

Magic!

We went to mt hood skiing when I was a kid and it was just like that.

Ya I have seen those on Donners' pass and almost got buried by one. However those are only 8 feet tall or so and the banks in the pic are alot bigger.

Here is a video of one of the snow-blowers. Can't remember how to embed the video on here, so here is the link...

I skied at Hood for about 20 years and never saw anything just like that, but there were some high walls sometimes. It is kind of weird to see nothing but walls of snow when your driving! I haven't seen anything like it in Utah.

There is a spot up Farmington Canyon near the towers that it get really high on one side because the wind continually blows it on the road and the hill is sloped up so it makes it look deeper than it really is.

Are you trying to ruin my childhood....

That is neat looking... I have seen similar walls up Cedar Canyon near Duck Creek/Navajo Lake. It is quite a trip to drive through!

 

[Cherokeester]

I am guessing they don't allow big rigs through there!

They don't get that deep at our cabin...but sometimes higher than the mirrors on my eXcursion. We say the roads are "plowed" but they are actually blown with some big-a** snowblowers. And cute little ones mounted to skid-steers. On a couple occasions when I couldn't plow our driveway with the jeep, I've called one of the operators and he's blown it out.

When the sides are that high, going down the hills you feel like you're on a luge. Also...it sucks when you're on a snowmobile and you have to transition from a road that isn't plowed. Sucks worse to get back out.

berthoud pass in colorado is the closest thing to that pic I've seen
