Electronic sensor detects the snow and turns mat on at the beginning of a storm.
The mat is cheap but install will cost you. However it will be a lot cheaper than buying a tractor. And it will work MUCH better.

Interesting idea. I did some research, looks like these are fine for a couple of inches of snow but get overwhelmed with deep snow. Also $$$ to run?!
Maybe a good size snow blower is the way to go.
Re; rope tow. My Wife did suggest a chair lift or similar. To those who mentioned lifts (above) can you point me to more info? Are these similar to handicap stair lifts?
Thank you.
