    I always prefer to work with the snow instead of remove it but this powdery, unconsolidated snow wasn’t playing well with the wheel and I’m pulling from multiple stacks. Half of an old snowboard and some scrap wood brought my idea to fruition. It’s just a friction fit with the tire so it’s easy to get on and off but it stays put when in use and the steering is pretty natural. PXL_20240217_162842858.jpeg
