Flew in on Sunday for golf. Everyone was fantastic and the golf course is in great shape. A couple thoughts: 1) Contact the email address listed on AirNav. Dick and Kevin both came out and met me and were extremely gracious and helpful. Kevin even gave me pointers during my approach from the ground by radio. 2) Watch out for winds. Even though winds at the field might be light, the ridges on both sides of the runway make for some squirrelly shifting winds. Nail the speed and altitude numbers on approach and be ready to go around - early! On takeoff, be ready for the unexpected shift in winds. Keep your climb attitude and take this departure seriously. This is a great airport and I'll come back again. While the flying is challenging - it feels great to do it and reminds us that all runways aren't 5000' long and there is a reason that we learn about planning for 50' obstacles in flight training.

Flew in for a Saturday visit with friends - great location! I did call the # listed on AirNav, press "0" and to let them know I was coming - no problem, a prompt "thank you for coming to see us". My Mooney 231 squeaked in and out with little problem, although a couple of practice short field approaches/departures before arrival wouldn't be a bad idea. Trees on both ends deserve attention. My T-Mobile service was non-existent, so plan appropriately if you need to talk w/FSS. A local gentleman and his wife lent me their cell to make a call - typical of the overall hospitality! Picked up an IFR home after a short climb - Washington Center very helpful.

A short, less than 5-minute walk from the ramp to the ski slopes. Even my 4 year old did it without complaining, so it can't be too bad! Met a couple local pilots at the airport who were extremely nice and welcoming and helped me push the plane back. The strip is a little short and the hills can be a little tricky, but it's not bad. I fly an SR22 - definitely NOT a great short-field aircraft - and there was no problem getting in. I was glad to pay the suggested $5 contribution to help keep such a conveniently located and friendly airport open.
