Peers,
The County has contracted with an Estes Park based plow contractor to support our community. They will have 2-3 trucks available for plowing and will also have a skid steer available when snow depth requires heavy equipment.
Snow depths that determine when plowing starts are set in the contract. The County simplified the specification for 2024-25 season. Snow removal will start when the snow depth on the road surface is consistently at least 4 inches deep. The County set a goal that roads should be cleared by 8 am.
All snow reports and performance feedback on the plowing must flow through the board. The board will pass on snow plowing needs to the contractor, and performance issues to the county. Please contact us at stormmountainpid@gmail.com this mailbox is shared by all board memebers.
The PID board has met with the contractor and shared lessons learned and the plow priority map. The contractor is building out their knowledge of the community to help expedite plowing.
Please ensure you and your vehicles are ready for the winter season. Proper tires, chains, and cold-weather gear are highly recommended. Extra travel time may/will be needed on poor weather days.
