Shoveling a driveway in less than 4min 30 seconds (not rushing at all) using efficient clearing technique. - How to remove snow/how to shovel snow

15-20cms (6-8 inches) of fresh snow had fallen. Ottawa, Ontario, Canada where I live, has over 2.3m (86in) of snow on average each year. It's a mix of powder, really wet stuff, freezing rain or layers of snow and rain. This video was shot on the less wet type snow, not quite full powder but technique is similar regardless. I have been shovelling for over 20 years and 90+% of the time the snowblower just sits in the garage because it is slower.

Start by clearing a walkway length-wise half-way through your driveway. Using this walkway, push the snow with the shovel towards the side, ideally without taking any steps towards it. If you have a double width driveway, push as far as you can without moving. Once you are done one side, go down the walkway pushing the other side. If you have a double width driveway, repeat again until you have pushed all the snow to the edges. Now lift the snow you pushed on top of the existing snowbank (use your legs) and you're done!

Note that for heavy/wet snow, it can be harder to push and you may need to lift and throw it on the snowbank (or walk through the remaining snow to drop it on the snowbank if throwing is too hard). Once the big accumulation is done you can push the rest or as far as you can. It may seem like it does not help with heavy snow but the worst-case is you shovel like you used to so nothing lost...

Other tips from the comments:
Yes, if you have a snowblower or a tractor etc it is "easier", that's not the point. Most of the time, it is slower, many people don't have them and using a snowblower all the time is lazy. Don't get me wrong, if you have super heavy stuff you'll probably want to use those things if you have them at your disposal but it should be the exception rather than the rule.
Remove tire tracks so they don't ice up and cause problems all season
Lift with your legs, not with your back
Don't wait too long to clear the driveway, if it starts to melt or solidify you will be swearing.
Wet snow is clearly heavier, take your time, there is no rush
If you have a snowblower, shovelling like this will still be faster most times except for very wet snow or when there is a very high amount. A second option is to push everything to the sides with a shovel and use the snowblower to just throw the piles you made over to the snowbank.

Apparently this is a good AMSR snow shovelling video, if that's what you're into, glad it helps!
