We get 185 inches of snow on average. Two years back to back we got over 300. Most of the time I use a snow scoop
http://www.silverbear.biz/ but when I'm in a hurry I use my trusty Husqvarna. In my neck of the woods there are only two brands that work. Husqvarna and Ariens. The nice thing about the scoop is you never have to lift the snow. You do need to plan in November where April's snow is going to go.
