25 February 2002, Le Buet, France
Quite a few skiers have been waiting at Le Buet for the 8:35 train from Vallorcine to Chamonix when within one minute of the scheduled departure a snow plough has been arriving clearing the line.

The two sides of this machine feature different tools for clearing the snow, and the rotating blades are facing backwards while the snow plough is now going to tackle the final climb to the tunnel bypassing the Col des Montets.
