Three in the morning, the storm sitting on Storm Peak and the valley floor under a lid of cold fog — this is the hour when a plow route makes sense. Mountain High Services runs Steamboat Springs snow work in exactly those hours: pushing drives, clearing lots, shoveling walks and treating entries so the town's morning starts on bare ground. A big night here is not measured in inches, it is measured in feet, and one pass is never the whole answer. They work storms all the way through instead of waiting for them to finish. There is nothing quite like the last driveway of a long night, opened wide, with the sky just starting to gray behind the ridge.
