nice place, available fuel. windy. stopped in over the new year, crew plowed big berm of snow right up to the tail of my plane. called maintenance, explained I was going to have to leave in a couple days, and was assured it would be cleared. next evening I went out and hand shoveled. wasn't to bad, under 2 hours, -25 degrees, wind 25 knots gusting higher. (didn't check how cold wind chill) just darn cold. still not sure why they would do that, only plane at the tie downs. plenty of room to plow snow, and built berm on up wind side of field. ?????
It's worth a trip to the Pincher Creek airport to check out the wind farms in the area. And you'll get a close up look at a wind turbine on the north side of the airport on the downwind for runway 07.
Windy as hell. Make sure to tighten up your ball cap before getting out of the plane or you will loose it. Dress in layers so the wind doesn't blow your shirt tight. Everyone can see your nipples.
