This is a high-elevation field with terrain dropping off on all runway ends. That matters on departure and on short final. Runway 04 has trees near the end of the runway. Runway 22 also has tree and slope notes near the displaced threshold, so review the current Chart Supplement before you go. Deer are present on and near the airport. Unmanned aircraft also operate within 1 NM of the field from the surface to 500 ft AGL. Runway 16/34 is closed during winter months and is soft in spring. Snow plowing, braking action and field condition reports are not available when the airport is unattended.
