The coldest mornings in Montrose come in clear, single digits and dead still, snow squeaking underfoot. Green & Bearit LLC is out in them, plowing drives, shoveling walks and treating the ice on the north side of houses where sun won't land again until March. The rest of the year those same properties get mowed, trimmed and edged, which is the far more pleasant half of the arrangement. Both halves come down to the same thing, a place you can use no matter what it is doing outside. Bear the winter, enjoy the green; this valley makes you earn each one.
