About Hopson Grading Inc

Bakersville sits down in the bend of the North Toe with Roan Mountain standing over it, and when a northwest flow sets in the snow comes in waves off the high ground and keeps coming long after the sky looks finished. Up these hollows a storm isn't measured in inches so much as in how long the gravel road stays closed. Hopson Grading Inc runs the winter work through Mitchell County: plowing drives, lots and mountain lanes, clearing walks and steps, and sanding and salting the grades that fall away toward the creek. An open road up a cove in January is the difference between being home and being stuck, and everybody here knows it. When the rhododendron on the banks is bent double with white, the trucks are already out.
