Snow contractors spend their summers sourcing salt, training crews, and mapping logistics. The earlier a contract is signed, the more of that preparation works in your favor. We continue to pull back...

Big news for the Swinter crew!

Congratulations to Jim, Hailey, Ian, and Casey on earning their Advanced Snow Manager (ASM) designation!

They are now part of a growing group of ASMs at Swinter, alongside Ken, Elizabeth, and Kristen. This milestone reflects a serious commitment to professionalism, education, and raising the bar for the entire snow and ice industry.

Proud to have a team that keeps pushing forward!

Risk doesn’t wait until the season is over.
How you respond in real time matters.

In the latest issue of The Snow & Ice Management Association, Inc.'s Snow Business magazine, our president Ken outlines why the first 24 hours after an incident matter, and how having a repeatable post-incident playbook protects your team long after the storm ends.

If you don’t have a clear process in place, now is the time.

Sunday night → Monday morning could get interesting. For now, plan a little extra time Monday morning and keep an eye on updates.

Winter weather is expected across much of the region Sunday evening into Monday morning. Forecast details are still not completely clear, but impacts could actually be limited to a smaller area where the heaviest wintry precipitation falls.

Over the last couple weeks, Ken has been in Minnesota getting his hands dirty (literally) working on treated rock salt production. This is how we make sure it performs when it matters. If you’ve got a salt pile that needs treating, we can help.

Six more weeks of winter? Yeah…we’re not mad about it. ❄️

Happy Groundhog Day!

Okay, we promise to pause our bragging for a bit, but we couldn’t let the day end without sharing this note.

"For what truly felt like a 'perfect storm'... your entire team did an amazing job."

That is how a client described our response to this weekend's weather. In conditions this tough, communication made all the difference.

They specifically thanked us for the strategic email updates that helped their executives make safety decisions. They also credited Ian for his rapid response, the detailed update he provided during a follow-up call, and his great proactive suggestions.
