Sap ladder or cluvert to cross snowmobile trail

[TRAILGUY]

I could go through a 18" culvert or a 12' high sap ladder with 120 taps which would you do? I could put a little extra slope through the culvert and drops off on down hill side. Has anyone tried it? Have a backhoe so could open both ends more if needed.

If it drops off on the down hill so you're not sacrificing fall, you're better with the culvert.

any trouble with freeze up?

I would go through the culvert so you don't loose any vac. And Put screen on both ends to keep animals out

I have almost 600 taps going through a culvert on wet/dry system. Has always worked well. Would definitely do that over a sap ladder any day!
