Abstract: A snow rake, which includes an elongate handle. Disposed near one end of the handle is a blade. In one embodiment, extending from the blade is a partially coiled low friction or lubricious sheath. In a second embodiment, the blade is pivotably attached to the handle.

Abstract: Devices and methods for removing snow are disclosed. A snow removal device in accordance with the present invention includes an elongate handle having a distal end and a proximal end, and a flexible sheet having a leading edge and a leading portion proximate the leading edge. The leading portion of the flexible sheet is fixed to the elongate handle proximate the distal end thereof. The flexible sheet has a first position defining a gliding surface, and a second position wherein the flexible sheet is substantially flat. The flexible sheet is, preferably, biased to assume the first position.
