Alpine Loop - Anyone have a good snow blower?

Saturday I only had a couple of hours to ride, so I headed up to Pine Hollow with the mountain bike with the plan to do some intervals from the gate to where the snow starts.  I was hoping the point where the snow covers the road would be higher, but it turned out that there was still a foot or two about 1 mile up from the gate.

It'll probably only be 2-3 more weeks before the road is clear, but in the meantime, it sure would be nice to enjoy the climb for those extra weeks while the road is closed to cars.  Someone with a blade on their ATV or a beefy snow blower should just go up there and clear a path.  I'd definitely chip in some money to support that effort.

Snow Still on Alpine Loop

On my way to work on Tuesday, I took a detour on my road bike up AF canyon and up the Alpine Loop road. I was hoping that I could at least make it to the summit and if I were really lucky, maybe descend down the other side into Provo Canyon and into Orem. This plan I thought would be much more exciting than turning around at Pine Hollow and doing an "out-n-back." Unfortunately I ran into this and had to turn around. I took this picture just before the turnoff for Timpooneke. I'm hoping that with the warm weather forecast that I'll be able to pass through next week when I try again. The road is still closed to cars (but not for long), so sooner the better.
