Dave's Snow Removal

About Dave's Snow Removal

Downtown Juneau climbs so fast off the water that some streets are practically stairs with pavement, and when snow lands on that grade under Mount Juneau and Mount Roberts, it doesn't sit still the way it would on flat ground. Dave's Snow Removal works those steep blocks and the driveways wedged into the hillside above the channel, clearing them before the morning traffic starts working its way down toward the harbor. Juneau's weather comes off the Gastineau Channel and can flip from rain to snow and back again in the same afternoon, so a driveway cleared at noon might need it again by dark. Because there's no road connecting this town to anywhere else, whatever falls here has to be dealt with here, no waiting on help from outside to catch up on it. Clearing a steep driveway down to bare pavement before the ice sets into it is the kind of small, repeated win that keeps this town moving through the dark months.
