Prillski's Snow Service

About Prillski's Snow Service

February in this valley is the kind of cold where the snow squeaks underfoot and the sky over Altoona turns pale pink an hour before the sun clears the trees. Prillski's Snow Service is out in that hour — plowing drives, opening walkways, shoveling stoops, breaking down the ridge the county truck left across the apron, then salting whatever stays slick. A Chippewa Valley winter delivers everything from a three-inch dusting to a foot of wind-packed drift, and the equipment has to answer both without complaint. Nothing feels better on a bitter morning than backing out over clear concrete without a second thought. Altoona is the route's center, with Eau Claire, Lake Hallie and Chippewa Falls nearby.
