What to do about driveway snow removal?

I have a steep, hilly driveway that goes through 3 wooded acres leading to my house. I just moved there this year, and ran into a major problem with the first snow storm, My friends truck couldnt get up to plow it. So, by the 2nd snow storm, I bought a 1985 chevy silverado with a plow and sander (all in good condition with low miles). I installed new tires, checked 4x4, and got it tuned up. (the mechanic said its the best looking 25 year old truck he's seen in a while) but it wouldnt get up my driveway in the snow eighter. So, by the third storm, my other friend who has a 2008 dodge ram dumptruck tried, but he couldnt get up eigther. My driveway is too long to snow blow or shovel, and there is a BLIZZARD coming where were expecting over 2 feet of snow! How do I clear my driveway? Its too big to just do 1 p down, and once im down i cant get back up. I talked to several contractors and landscapers, and they said my best bet is a small backhoe or a bobcat, and then they gave me a ridiculous price that it would cost them to clear it. How do I keep my driveway clear?
