South of Parker the ground lifts into the Palmer Divide, and that rise is why this corner of Colorado gets buried on nights when Denver only gets dusted. Powder Country, Llc works the storms that ride up over it — plowing driveways and lots, clearing walkways and steps, treating ice where the shade holds it past noon. A Divide storm can arrive in October or in the middle of April, wet and heavy and stacked a foot deep against a garage door. The trucks go out while it is still falling, because waiting is how a driveway turns into a two-day job. Getting a household out on time after a night like that is the whole of the reward.
