Maintained by NWT Power Corporation, formerly Northern Canada Power Comission. Handle a loaded twin otter no problem. Hump approximately 3/4 of the way down the airfield heading Southeast, good takeoff aid, fairly gentle, highest point maybe 2 metres above runway. Taking off to SE, Snair Hill rises sharply to 330 metres AMSL. In an emergency, help can be found at the main hydro site, which is north on the road at NW end of runway, approximately 12 to 15 km. Hydro site has direct communication to Yellowknife, N.W.T. . There were large antennae on the top of Snare Hill as late as the early 1990's, and as it is the highest point of land in the area I am sure there will be at least 1 tower there for many years.
