snow plowing

Winter road maintenance

Snow plowing is the act of clearing snow from roads, driveways, or other surfaces using a plow—typically a blade mounted on a truck or tractor.

The term also describes a skiing technique where the tips of the skis point inward and the tails spread apart, forming a wedge shape to control speed: She learned snow plowing before attempting parallel turns.
