Aavalanche Snow Removal

About Aavalanche Snow Removal

The falls that gave Post Falls its name still run below the dam year-round, open water steaming faintly in the cold while the banks at Q'emiln Park go white and still under a fresh snow. Aavalanche Snow Removal works the neighborhoods and small commercial lots back from the river, clearing driveways and walkways through the wet, Panhandle-style snow that piles up fast along the Spokane River corridor. Being this close to the Washington line means the crew sometimes catches a storm's leading edge before it even reaches Coeur d'Alene, plowing early so Post Falls properties aren't the last ones cleared on a shared route. The riverbank neighborhoods near Treaty Rock and the falls hold onto their snow a little longer than the flatter ground toward Rathdrum, shaded as they are by the bluffs above the water. It's steady, repeatable route work, done storm after storm along a river that never quite freezes even when everything beside it does.
