Congrats to Pixel Magic for the FTF!!!! This cache is a short climb up on the high point on 287 between Laradise and Fort Collins. There is a nice pull-out, and you don't need to cross any fences. But you should see plenty o' fences....
Snow fences work by making the wind speed on the downwind side and near upwind side less than that on the far windward side, causing blown snow to settle to the ground. Thus, snow fences actually cause snow drifts, rather than preventing them. The fences are placed to cause a snow drift where it is not harmful so that the snow does not drift onto undesired areas, such as roadways.
