Roads & Snow Maintenance

Alpine Lakes Ranch maintains approximately 33 miles of privately owned gravel roads throughout the ranch. These roads are maintained and improved under the direction of the ALRPOA Roads Director and the Board of Directors through a contracted road maintenance provider.

​

Routine maintenance such as grading, drainage management, and repairs is necessary to keep ranch roads safe and accessible for property owners, residents, and emergency services. Gravel road maintenance can be affected by weather conditions, especially drought, since moisture is needed to properly grade and compact the road surface.

​

To protect road quality and safety, only the approved ALRPOA road contractor is permitted to cut, trench, grade, or plow ranch roads. Unauthorized work that damages the roads must be repaired by the approved contractor at the property owner’s expense.

Winter Snow Removal

Throughout the winter months, snow removal operations are coordinated by the Roads Director in collaboration with the contracted road crew. Plowing typically begins after storms when snowfall reaches approximately six inches or more, and the crew works to clear all ranch roads before addressing access to shared infrastructure such as water tanks and cluster mailboxes.

​

Because Alpine Lakes Ranch contains many miles of roadway, complete snow clearing may take many hours depending on storm conditions. Property owners are responsible for clearing their own driveways and should plan accordingly during winter weather events.

How Property Owners Can Help

Maintaining ranch roads is a shared responsibility. Property owners can help by:

​

• Driving the 20 mph speed limit to reduce wear and road damage.

  ​

• Clearing brush and tree limbs near roads to allow safe snow plowing and equipment access.

  ​

• Reminding guests, contractors, and delivery drivers to observe ranch speed limits.

  ​

• Directing road questions or concerns to the ALRPOA Roads Director or Board, rather than interrupting the road crew while they are working.

  ​

Additional details about road maintenance practices and snow removal procedures are available in the documents library.
