This from a local FB page. I guess it could also have gone on the People Who Park Like Fuds thread. That's the snow gates at the bottom of the Cairn O'Mount.

Shouldn’t think that wagon would have much difficulty pulling the wankpanzer out of the road. Or even better, pushing it into the ditch
Yes, that made the local Parking Like Fuds domain.
And yes, shoving it into the ditch was a popular option!
The place I was skiing from at the weekend is about 500m before those snow gates.
These photos are of the CoM summit, a few k beyond those gates.
Yes, there's a road beneath all that snow. Somewhere.

(These are also the snow gates I almost wrapped myself round at 80 kph on a bike at some point in the past, when this was my commuting route!)
But that truck is not going to be making inroads into 2 or 3 meters of snow further up the hill.
That's going to need snow blowers, or a slower option, JCBs with Shuvvels.
I don't think to cooncil have snow blowers, so JCBs with shuvvels it is.
AFAIK, the only blowers around here are owned by the Lecht ski centre, and are used to keep the access roads to the ski centre open beyond the snow gates at both Cockbridge and Tomintoul, beyond which the cooncil regard as not-our-problem, mate.
