drag a weighted small car tire, smooths out the snow and fills in your tire tracks, an e bike with bull low might work? did it lots while clearing pipeline ROW.s end of day drag a 15inch tire with rim or piece of plywood screwed to one side of tire and filled with snow. would go down one side and back on the other, next morning was close to a sidewalk. slow was better!

might work?
