Fraser keeps its cold the way a valley does, holding it low overnight so the mornings crack open clear and Byers Peak stands out sharp to the west. Alpine Landscape Service works with what that altitude allows: plowing, shoveling and ice control through the long winter, then mowing, trimming and cleanups through the brief green stretch that follows. Snow up here gets measured in feet rather than inches, and moving it is a matter of getting ahead and staying ahead — drives opened, walks scraped down, banks pushed back where they will not creep in again. When July finally arrives, that same attention goes into a lawn that gets only a handful of weeks to be a lawn. Both jobs are the same promise, made twice a year.
