And we'll save some snow for you, too.

That doesn't count unless it's a second-floor deck (at least).

That's an impressive snow pile, you should farm that for your trails

Moving it is hard. I've attacked it with the snow blower, but that has limited throw. Have used the front end loader in the past, but that goes where the snow blower is attached. The trailer could work, but that carries in a minor amount of snow. Maybe we can figure something out when you're here. We'll still have the piles.

clearly you just need a bigger snowblower.

> but that goes where the snow blower is attached

clearly you just need a separate snowblower.

This one throws 150ft and does 3500 tons per hour, and is just a hair over a lot of dollars. Mom said she wanted a front loader to park in the yard too.

That would throw the snow to the neighbors across the street. Besides, I think that is a little on the chintzy scale. What I had in mind was something like this.

depending on the neighbor they might be ok with you harvesting their snow and tossing it the other way to add to your trails. or maybe dig a pit and save it until fall. I hear that's a thing in VT these days.

Those have been in use recently in Biggins' neighborhood.

2500 hp, 40,500 cubic feet per minute, so about 25 tons per hour.
