From Erie the mountains stand up along the entire western sky, and Longs Peak wears its snow long after the town's has gone to memory. Mountain Side LLC works the storms that spill down from there — plowing driveways, shoveling walks, and treating the ice that hides in shade after the sun has taken the rest. Upslope weather can drop heavy wet snow overnight and then clear to blue by ten, so speed counts for nearly everything. The payoff is a drive that is open, a walk with grip, and a morning that goes ahead exactly as planned. The peaks keep their snow all summer; the driveway does not keep it past breakfast.
