A Little Star.
« on: May 20, 2015, 03:33:01 pm »
While on a short break to visit my daughter in Grenada, Southern Spain, came across this little beauty. Obviously they must have thought highly of her to retire her to her own concrete plinth on the approach to the ski resort of Sierra Nevada.

Love the way they drove the blower. But she looks tiny compared to the present size of the road up to the resort. There was another one further down, but I think it only had a blade on it.

I have a friend in France who works in Switzerland, to this day they still use the 411 snow blower for the mountain clearance work. :)
