Snowblowing a driveway in Colorado with a Yamaha YS 828

This was a relatively heavy storm across the entire Denver Metropolitan area (although we've certainly seen much worse!!). Glen is always eager to put his decade-old snowblower into action and I love watching how much snow it throws into the air! (I usually follow-up with my shovel after he knocks out the hard parts...)

@JasonsLawnCare1

I agree - it would sure be a lot more fun!

Very nice video; I was wondering how well the yamaha compares to the Honda snow blower.

@19320000000000

Thanks! But, this particular Yamaha snowblower is about ten years old so I'm not sure what modern stuff there would be to compare it with?

Thank you! I'm very proud of my country and love it here. But, I still enjoy seeing other parts of the world as I just returned from Russia in September, etc. I do hope you get a chance to see Mesa Verde someday but would encourage you to visit it in the fall or winter as it is VERY crowded with visitors during school breaks, summer, etc.

@zeekzilch Yeah I really want to go there Mesa verde,I saw it in a Lassie film years ago,thats how I found about it.

Well Americans don,t really need to travel because you have the best ofeverything there,hot weather,beaches,mountains,nati­onal parks and the best theme parks in the world.

Americans, in general, don't travel outside the country very much. But, the ones who do always seem to enjoy the U.K. - London's culture, bike rides in Ireland, hiking in Scotland, I hear a lot of good reports from fellow travelers. Although Mesa Verde is 700 kilometres (435 miles) from my house I've been there many times and love the ancient mystery in it!

@zeekzilch I,m very surprised that you loved England,I have heard many Americans say when they come over to England they hate it,they find it a dull third world country and very cold and the servise is terrible.You are from Colarado,thats one part of America I have,nt done,I would love to visit there.I want to go to Messa verdi national park.Its cliff dwellings,have you been there?

@andrewbarrett42

We enjoyed England immensely as it is so different than north America due to its much longer history. I think we stayed in a regular bed and breakfast that was older than my country! And, of course, England's history includes its huge impact on much of the rest of the world.so that, too, is of keen interest to us.

@zeekzilch Its the English setter vs poodle video the one with the snow.what did you think of England when you visited.I,ve nearly been all over America and I personly think it is better than England.
