Clarity before the storm.
Consistency during it.

AIXIS LLC, a Vermont limited liability company. It publishes winter-operations information for the Champlain Valley and passes service requests to independent snow and ice contractors working the route area.

No. This site performs no snow services: no plowing, salting, sanding, shovelling, blowing, stacking or hauling. It owns no plow trucks, loaders or spreaders, dispatches no crews, and holds no contractor licence or snow-services insurance, because it performs no snow work.

The request is reviewed against the route area and the property details, and passed to an independent contractor working that area if the fit is right. That contractor is a separate business, contracts with you directly on its own terms and its own insurance, and this site is not a party to that agreement.

No. It does not create a service agreement, reserve a route position, obligate any contractor to accept the property, or obligate this site to find one. Any winter service you receive is provided under a separate agreement between you and the contractor.

By passing qualified requests to contractors. That is worth saying plainly because it explains the site's incentive: it benefits from a request that a contractor can actually serve, which is why the town pages state the limits of coverage and why a request can be declined rather than accepted and then abandoned.

No. This site publishes no customer reviews, no star ratings and no testimonials, because it does not perform the work being reviewed and any rating it published would be about someone else's business. It also publishes no fabricated ones, which is the more common practice in this category.

Because requests are screened by property, and a phone call without the surface, length, grade, storage and access details cannot be answered usefully. The estimate form collects those details so the enquiry arrives complete. There is no walk-in location to publish.

The team behind this site, drawing on published municipal material, National Weather Service climate data, and the scopes contractors publish themselves. Individual pieces are not bylined to an invented person, and no article here claims first-hand field experience the publisher does not have.

From commonly advertised Chittenden County pricing structures and the cost factors contractors publish in their own scopes, presented as ranges with a check date — currently September 2026. They are a tool for comparing bids on equal terms, never a quote.

Roof snow, ice dams and structural snow load — a different trade with different risk. Public road maintenance, which is the municipality's. And anything requiring a site-specific engineering judgement, which requires someone standing on the property.

Reported through the request form with "correction" in the message, checked against the source, and fixed on the page. Where a figure changes, its check date changes with it rather than the page silently carrying an old number under a new date.

It is stored so a contractor can evaluate the property and respond, passed to that contractor, and kept while the request is active and for up to 24 months afterwards. It is never sold, rented or traded, and there is no advertising or analytics tracking anywhere on this site.

Yes, and it is, when the route cannot support the property or the access cannot be made safe. A plain no is more useful than an acceptance that produces no service in February.
