Snow falls dry in this valley and stacks light, so a north-facing pitch in Salida can carry a storm for weeks while the south side sheds by Tuesday afternoon. Yeti Roofing, Inc. works that imbalance with snow removal — load taken off roofs, eaves and valleys cleared, drives and walks opened below so what comes down has somewhere safe to land. Metal roofs let go all at once around here, usually right when somebody is walking under them, which is why timing and placement matter as much as muscle. Done right the day is uneventful: a clear roofline, a clean path, a house shrugging off the next storm. Snow removal covers Salida, Poncha Springs, Nathrop and the nearby valley.
