Abstract: A device for plowing snow is provided by the present invention. The device consists of a sheet material such as a board made of hard but resilient material having a tapered bottom edge and rounded bottom corners. A plurality of slots are located in the top portion of the sheet material and at least one slot is located at each side of the sheet member for grasping the device by hand. Hand grips are located in the top edges and bottom edges of the sheet member adjacent the slots to facilitate grasping and to prevent chafing of the edges of the device against the hands. The tapered bottom edge can be an integral part of the sheet member or an attachment press-fitted on the bottom edge of the device. Optionally a carrying strap may be mounted around the top slots to permit carrying the device to and from its place of storage and during use. A method for plowing snow using the device is also provided wherein the board is held and moved diagonally to the path to be cleared.
