The snow can reach anywhere from 2 to 6 feet deep in our area. In winter if there is a plow-able snowfall of 3 inches or more of wet snow the driveway will be plowed for your convenience. Please move your cars off the driveway when our plow person comes. 

Neighborhoods can have steep roads. In winter months it is strongly recommended that all vehicles carry snow chains or have 4x4 or all-wheel drive when traveling in the Colorado Mountains.
