This image shows the back end of a rotary snowplow in foreground, deep in a wide expanse of snow as it is blowing snow off the mountain road. In front of the plow is a cat tractor, or "Dozer", pushing snow toward the front of the plow where it is ejected away to the left. Working together, the two machines can clear a wider path through deeper snow than the plow could easily do alone.
