About Ausman Enterprises

Ice fog collects in the low bend where the Kenai River curls past Soldotna on the coldest winter mornings, thick enough that streetlights along the road show as soft rings before the sun clears the far bank. Ausman Enterprises works driveways and parking areas through that fog, clearing snow off pavement that's often colder and icier near the riverbank than a few blocks back from the water. Walkways get shoveled and sanded so the morning's foot traffic to the road holds solid footing. Properties set back from the river, where black spruce and birch break the wind, get cleared with the same steady pace, snow pushed well clear of driveways so a fresh dusting doesn't fill the tracks back in by midday. By the time the fog finally burns back off the water, the driveways along this stretch sit plowed and sanded, ready for the day's first trip out to the highway.
