North Air / North Real Estate

at Mount Snow Airport

From Richard Bendel on 02-Jan-2009

For those pilots looking for an alternative, EEN has a 6200 x 100 foot runway with ILS, very good asphalt and an ILS.

Disturbing news from Mr. Snow. I decided on a whim to do a one-day Christmas ski trip with my kids who were in for the holidays. As is my habit, I called ahead to North Realty to confirm runway conditions and fuel availability. I spoke to John at North, who informed me that North had sold the airport. He gave me the cell phone number of the new owner, Mike. I spoke to Mike, who told me that he was the new owner, and he lived in New York. He and a group of friends are planning to make the airport a "club" airport, where one would pay a yearly fee to have airport access. He said he thought that there was still fuel in the self-serve tanks, but knew nothing of the runway conditions. I hope they can find a way to make this airport viable as a commercial operation, as it is a gem.

This is a beautiful airport located close to the ski resort. Runway is relatively short and winds are generally from the NW but if you know your airplane it should be a "piece of cake"! Use soft field techniques as the runway has seen "better days" although this is much better than grass. Fuel is generally cheaper than anywhere else and if you call Bob North ahead of time you can rent a car for the day (during Summer, if you don't have a car just walk 5 minutes up Airport Road and you'll get to the golf course restaurant, where the food is excellent). Golf is open to visitors so I dropped a friend for a day of golf and I hung around at the airport (I forgot to mention that the club house has a pool table and if you are lucky enough to find somebody around you can challenge yourself). There are also two tennis courts but I haven't "challenged" myself at that yet... I will definitely come back!

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Runway slightly rough but certainly usable. Only thing to watch out for-- when we came in, winds were calm at 1, 000 AGL but any altitude below that (on final RWY 1 or takeoff RWY 1) yielded pretty severe turbulence. This airport is in a valley and the winds are strong and variable. Combine that with its proximity to mountainous terrain and all those trees... Use caution! Did I mention the staff was really friendly? They also have 100LL, although it's not depicted on the map.
