A few operational notes matter here. Runway 17/35 may not be plowed for 24 hours after heavy snowfall or drifting snow. Runway 07/25 is not plowed for snow and is open to ski-equipped aircraft. There are trees near the 07 approach path. A hangar sits left of runway 17. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. This is a small non-towered field. Expect local traffic, short-field judgment and winter surface checks to matter more than anything else.
