Good Alternatives to snow shovel for shoveling snow?

I have 6 inches of snow I need to shovel out, but I don't have a snow shovel. Thus, is there any good alternatives besides using a regular shovel to shovel out the snow?
 
a snow plow or a snow blower.

if it's a relatively flat driveway, any rear wheel drive vehicle will do (and quite fun too)

Do you happen to have bulk salt?

salt sucks, mag chloride is much better, plus, unless the sun is out and it's above 32, salt just isn't effective against powder. it makes neat dimples but is too inconsistent.
 
Buy a snow shovel. /problem

Snowblowers are better, though. When they work. Ours doesn't. I shoveled a lot today. 🙁

I actually prefer using a scoop shovel.

Here's a dandy.

I like the steel version. There are pros and cons. It takes longer to do the job, but when dealing with heavy and/or wet snow, it's much easier to lift. Regular snow shovels are very wide in comparison, but dealing with heavy snow can be a real chore.

However, I use a Toro snow blower which I much prefer over the scoop shovel.

I love grain shovels for snow. Those pieces of plastic shit shovels they sell at Wal Mart or whatever, man they just do nothing but make me mad.

Grain shovels are awesome- not too great for large quantities of snow, but for heavy/wet/icy stuff, they can't be beat.
 
you shovel with a shovel.

use your knees for those scoops with a full shovel, that's the best tip i can give ya. take breaks & stretch before & after especially if it is the first major snowfall of the year. don't pwn your back.
