The final plowing to Cumbres Pass in 1993 was after night fall, but this was not the place nor the time to stop. Here are some more Hi-8 video to VHS to digital still shots. I've talked to my brother about getting his original tape digitized so it can be posted (on this trip he shot video, and I shot stills - the videos are far more dramatic in my humble opinion).
The rotary snow plow is less than a quarter mile from the top, after a lengthy effort by the Chama fire department to water the engines.
