If you watch the film yopper linked you will see them shoveling snow into it. They have a couple different recoveries filmed. One they just used the ever present ropes to pull the snocat out. The other they shoveled snow in to have a platform to work from and put the bridging laders in. They had to probe their way south and at points were only making a mile a day.
