In Motion Plowing and Maintenance

About In Motion Plowing and Maintenance

Girdwood sits down in its own bowl off the Seward Highway, close enough to Turnagain Arm that storms coming up the inlet dump snow here by the foot rather than the inch, and In Motion Plowing and Maintenance runs its trucks on a schedule built around that difference. The roads below Alyeska stay busy all winter with people headed up toward the tram, so driveways and access lanes get cleared in passes timed between traffic rather than around it. Snowfall totals pile up fast enough here that a single day can mean two full routes instead of one, trucks moving constantly rather than waiting for a storm to finish. Properties tucked back in the trees get plowed with extra care, since low branches loaded with snow don't always announce themselves before a truck clips one. It's a town that measures winter in feet, not inches, and the plowing keeps pace with it.
