The airport experiences significant temperature variations, ranging from -33°C to 29°C, with an average temperature of -5.2°C. Visibility is typically excellent, averaging 10.3 statute miles, though fog and reduced visibility can occur in 4.2% of observations.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways: a primary 5,577-foot asphalt runway (08/26) and a secondary 1,500-foot grass runway (11/29). Prevailing winds are westerly at 270 degrees, with an average speed of 9.2 knots and occasional gusts up to 38 knots.
