Abstract: A snow removal apparatus for cutting and removing snow from a sloped surface. The apparatus comprises a frame. The frame has a lower section and an upper section connected by side sections. The apparatus also comprises an elongated handle removably engageable to the frame and a slide connected to the lower section of the frame and extending away therefrom in a slide extending direction. The apparatus is selectively configurable in a push configuration where the handle is engaged to the lower section of the frame and extends in a direction substantially similar to the slide extending direction and a pull configuration where the handle is engaged to the upper section of the frame and extends in a direction substantially opposite to the slide extending direction.
