About Alpengardener CB South

Crested Butte South sits down-valley where Cement Creek Road climbs east into the timber, and its driveways run up and off the benches at angles that winter takes seriously. Alpengardener CB South plows those drives in the blue hour before the highway fills, so the run into town starts on cleared ground instead of a shovel. Snow here does not melt away between storms; it accumulates, and the season becomes a matter of where you put it — banks cut back, turnarounds kept wide, walks opened to the door. Sand goes on the steep spots and the icy corners where a tire would otherwise spin. By spring the piles are enormous and the driveway underneath has never once been closed.
