Wind comes off Rifle Gap Reservoir with an edge to it, and it will fill a cleared lane back in before you have turned the truck around. Alpine Roll-Off Services works snow removal against exactly that: plowing, stacking piles where they will not drift back across the opening, and getting driveways and lots usable on the north side of town. Up this way the snow is dry enough some days to blow like sand, and heavy enough on others to test everything with an engine in it. The reward comes at first light, when there is a straight black run of pavement with red rock standing behind it. They stay after a storm until the pattern is clear and the ground is open.
