Alpine Arborworks

About Alpine Arborworks

West Yellowstone sits high enough that snow doesn't so much fall here as accumulate, storm on storm, until the lodgepole pines along the edge of town are bent low with the weight of it. Alpine Arborworks moves that snow off driveways and walkways through a winter that can run six feet deep by February, working in the kind of cold where breath hangs in the air. On a clear morning, with the park's geyser basins just a few miles up the road, the plow clears a path to the door before the cold turns every breath to fog. Winter runs long at this elevation, and keeping an entrance open here means keeping it open for months most places have already forgotten. Clearing a driveway in West Yellowstone is less a chore than a standing appointment with the season.
