The lots around the Anschutz campus never really empty, which means the snow there has to be gone before the shift change rather than after it. Colorado Snow And Ice keeps those hours, two in the morning under headlights and orange strobes, opening lanes and salting the entries where boot traffic will polish ice to glass by six. Aurora's freeze-thaw is the true adversary here: melt runs at noon, refreezes at dusk, and a lot that looked fine at lunch turns treacherous by dinner. So the work is watchful as much as it is heavy, going back over the shaded corners and the low spots that collect. Snow and ice management for Aurora, Denver, Glendale and Commerce City.
