How much snow will a quattro plow?

Hairy green toads from Mars made JanDebL at aol.com say:

They've done two such commercials I think. The first, a few years
back was on a ski jump, which I think was a standard 90 meter jump.
The second was up a slalom course, but it wasn't really slalom,
nor was it GS. Can't say for sure, but based on my experience skiing
I would say it was about a 10 degree slope, looked like they went
about 500 yards (although the course was longer), and it was mostly
dry snow, as opposed to the hard ice they like on race course.
