Rovelsky & Co

About Rovelsky & Co

Stand in Ironwood in late February and the walls along a cleared driveway can be shoulder-high and cut square, the record of a winter that's been worked at since November. Rovelsky & Co makes those cuts — plowing driveways and lots around town, shoveling out walks, steps and mailboxes, and salting the spots that glaze over when the afternoon sun turns brief and honest. This is one of the snowiest corners of Michigan, right up against the Montreal River and the Wisconsin line, so a season here is a long run of repeat visits rather than a handful of big days. Showing up again and again is the job itself. The result is a property that stays open all winter, no matter how much keeps coming down.
