Maintenance + Request Forms
-
Ensure everyone living on or visiting your property understands what to expect and do during the winter season.
Our Roads are plowed by San Miguel County. 2”-3” of snow will trigger County snow removal Operations- Monday-Friday- starting @ 5am. 5”-6” will trigger weekend snow removal.
Residents are responsible for clearing the top of driveways, berms left by snowplows. Blow all snow onto your property, not your neighbor’s property or Ski Ranches streets.
Ensure all trash and recycling is covered as the county cannot plow when recycling or garbage is on the roadway. Keep trash containers 5 feet from roads in the winter.
Fire Hydrants: Ski Ranches HOA (and your dues) provide this service. We have 55 fire hydrants. Fire hydrant clearing begins after the roads have been cleared. (Do not blow snow over the hydrants or the flags)
Keep snow on your property away from the road right of way. You are responsible for clearing your driveway and any berms left by plowing. Do not blow or plow snow onto the roads.
Absolutely no on street parking during snowplow operation (usually between 8 am – 5pm).
No overnight parking on ski ranches roads permitted.
Thank your snow plow drivers. They have a tough job and we are fortunate to have San Miguel County to plow our roads.
