That's amazing. A few inches off could be fatal it looks like.

I love the vertical blade. I’m sure they love their job!

Impressive. Could not pay me enough to do that job. Those guys must have ice water in their veins.

Spot on geoduck. I've been over "Going to the Sun" a couple times. Once in my pickup - once on my motorcycle. NEVER AGAIN on a motorcycle. Folks tended to take their half right out of the center when I was on my MC. Unless you have gone over Going to the Sun road - you have little appreciation of the words - down there. Just watching that video makes me shiver. As much as I like plowing snow - not there.
If the cat and driver went off - at least, the driver would have plenty of time to recite the Lord's Prayer before he hit bottom.

A little off track but same road. If anybody has a fear of heights, narrow roads and very very limited areas to pass oncoming vehicles. Going to the Sun will REALLY be a CHALLENGE. On both my trips over this road - I could hear folks screaming in vehicles I would pass - coming the other way. This is a really high, narrow, windy road and you will meet a lot of traffic coming the other way. Some of them will be motorhomes and it will challenge your nerves and driving skills. On the positive side - it is paved and remarkably beautiful.

It's a scenic road.
Back in the 1950's it was gravel, narrower and did not have any side railings.

Impressive!!!! Is it me, or would it make more sense for the blade to be tilted the other way?

That's kind of what I wondered about also, Eddie. However - it must be angled that way for a good reason. Perhaps it makes the operation safer. Man - having been on that road - - I just can not imagine operating a dozer in that deep snow and on that road. It is SO narrow and the drop is so far down at places - I swear, you can't see the bottom.
