Dig the out the bottom part of the bank and put the snow somewhere out of the way. With the bottom part of the bank out of the way you can then get closer to the top and cut it back.

As V1 said, dig in at the bottom, and either carry away or ramp it back over the top. I suppose there is still a limit to pushing it back that way tho.
How about a pic of what you are faced with? We like pics and maybe can suggest another alternative.

With the thread title, I thought my wing might help. But it has its limits too. :D

I spent a couple hours doing just the same this week end and will have to do it again. A short distance but out of the way I tunneld my way a spot to recieve some snow. then about a bucket or two width away I started scooping and moving some snow to my new area. Once I had enough moved to get to the ends I curled the bucket and back dragged the pile to my open area then after a few passe I scoop and move the snow and keep repeating. My drive ends at a very busy street with unforgiving traffic. I must say I didn't put a drop in the street and never had to wait for traffic. It was a PITA mostly because of my equipment limitations. If I had a gy with a pickup & blade helping it would have gone much faster but I did make some good progress doing both sides in about a hour and 1/2.

I would have to take the snow a long way to do most of that,, I was thinking of something like an flat extension on the bucket to push the tops off with.. :confused:

Do you have room to blow the snow away? If so can you get a blower and knock the piles down and blow them out of the way?

No pics of what you are dealing with? We like pics. :)

Tell us more about the idea you have in mind for an extension.
