A chinook can come down out of Ute Pass overnight and take six inches off the west side of Colorado Springs by lunchtime, which is both a gift and a trap — whatever melts by day locks up hard after dark. All Wayz Green plows and shovels with that in mind, taking drives and walks all the way down to the surface so the afternoon sun has something to work with instead of a compacted crust. Ice treatment goes where the wind funnels between houses and where north-facing steps stay blue with shade until March. On the streets climbing toward the pass, the job is as much about where the snow ends up as how fast it moves. The measure of it is a driveway you can back out of without thinking twice.
