What We Do

Full-scope winter operations, in-house

From the first weather trigger to the final post-event report, our crews and equipment handle every layer of your winter operation under one roof.

Plowing & Hauling

Pickups, skid steers, loaders, and dump trucks ready to plow, stack, and haul snow off-site to keep your lots usable through every storm.

  • Lots, drives & access roads
  • On-site stacking
  • Off-site hauling

Sidewalks & Entrances

Crews dedicated to walks, entries, and ADA-critical surfaces — clean to bare pavement and treated for re-freeze risk.

  • Crew-cleared sidewalks
  • Entry & vestibule clearing
  • ADA-compliant access

De-Icing & Salting

Liquid pre-treat, granular salt, and high-traction blends applied based on surface temperature and event forecast — not guesswork.

  • Pre-treat & post-treat
  • Granular & liquid product
  • Surface-temp targeted

GPS-Tracked Dispatch

Every truck and crew live on GPS. Auto-dispatch on weather SEASON means crews are rolling before the snow stops falling.

  • Weather-SEASON dispatch
  • Real-time site status

Avara snow and ice management fleet — plow truck and loader on-site in Medicine Hat
On-Site

Built for the worst Alberta throws at us

Heavy-equipment plowing, loader stacking, and off-site hauling — the right machine on every site, every event.

Our Process

Plan. Respond. Document.

A documented, three-phase winter operation that keeps your sites open, your tenants safe, and your liability covered.

01

Plan

Site map, priority zones, SEASON depths, open-by times, and a written service spec signed off before the first flake falls.

02

Respond

Auto-dispatch on weather SEASON, GPS-tracked crews, and live event coordination from our 24/7 dispatch team.

03

Document

Time-stamped service records and per-event photos delivered after every storm — your liability paper trail, ready when you need it.

Operations Advantage

Built to run in the harshest climates.

Equipment that won't start at -30°C is equipment that won't clear your lot. Our operations are built to help reduce downtime when the weather turns.

Heated indoor facility

Every plow truck, skid steer, loader, and salter is stored heated and ready — no cold-soak delays, no frozen hydraulics, no excuses when the call comes in.

In-house mechanic

Our in-house mechanic helps keep repairs happening between events when possible, so equipment goes back out properly serviced.

Mobile service truck

Our field service truck rolls to the site so a hydraulic line, plow edge, or electrical issue can often be addressed where it sits — helping reduce downtime in tough conditions.

Cold-weather ready

Block heaters, winter fluids, and pre-event equipment checks — trucks are staged for deep cold to help reduce the risk of weather-related delays.

Property Intelligence

We know your property. No, we really do.

Before the first storm, we map every parking lot and sidewalk on your site using high-precision aerial measurements. Crews dispatch to the exact surfaces — no missed walks, no guessed acreage, no surprises on your invoice.
