I've done something similar to that leap into the snowbank. My grandfather's best friend has a cottage down the street from where he was living (Michigan, Norther LP). He's right in the middle of the lake effect snow belt. Anyway, he asked since my family was up visiting if we could clear off his roof. It is a 4 hour drive, so it saved him the trip and the trouble. Plus my family was 6 kids (ages 17-12 at the time); which meant for many hands and less work.

We climbed up and shoveld it off. All 2-3 feet of it.There were already large snow drifts/banks, but after that some were 6-8 ft high. So my step-bro decided to jump off the peak of this single-wide trailor home into the snow. We thought he was nuts, but when he came up laughing like fool we all wanted to try it. It was about an 8 ft drop into 8ft of snow. We had a ball.
