Woodland Park sits up US-24 over the pass at 8,500 feet, the mountain town above Colorado Springs where the highway tops out and the air goes thin with it. Reaching it means the climb past Cascade and over the grade, and the weather shifts on the way up, so any move to or from Woodland Park comes with snow, ice, and altitude built into the plan from the outset. Checkmate runs that pass through every season, so the crew treats the grade as routine rather than a hazard and reads the forecast before the truck rolls.
The homes up here range from slope-side cabins to full mountain houses, and plenty hold an upright that came up the pass years ago. Our piano crew pads and skids it for the carry off a steep mountain driveway, then it loads on our own truck for the careful descent. The rest of the house is wrapped against the cold, dry alpine air, and furniture rides padded over the grade so neither the jolts nor the chill reach it. When the dates don’t line up, the load holds in climate-controlled storage down in the Springs until you’re ready. One flat written rate, one Checkmate crew over the pass and back.
Mountain Homes and the US-24 Pass at 8,500 Feet
A steep mountain driveway and a snow-dusted grade get walked first, then the crew sets up on firm footing and carries from there rather than gamble a slick descent. An upright in a slope-side cabin or a full mountain house, we map the carry, plan the US-24 run, and lock the price ahead of the date.
