We always kept our drive free of snow through copious amount of snow blowing and shoveling and if you look at the private roads/driveways up there, that is typically the solution. For the private roads that people didn't shovel or snow plow, they would either ski, snowshoe, or drive a snowmobile. In my view, the issue up there was that government was doing an awful job and the public didn't care enough to change it so it never changed.
