5198.0. "Status of Mt. Snow airport?" by PCBUOA::BAYJ (Jim, Portables) Mon Feb 03 1997 15:27

    Anyone been to Mt. Snow lately?
    
    It looks like there is an X on the runway, even though the runway has
    been plowed and is lighted, and there are no NOTAMs regarding landing
    restrictions (its still listed in the latest AFD).

5198.1Ice On The Runway?SMURF::LIUMy Beer? Scudrunner Dark...Tue Feb 04 1997 08:4013
    
    Mount Snow has historically been a tricky place to go into
    in the colder months.  The winds are more challenging and
    folks seem to regularly crunch there.  The owners might
    be X-ing the runway to keep away the transients who typically
    come to grief.  Kind of "if you have to ask, don't".
    
    Also, the recent weather might have left the runway well
    iced, in spite of being plowed.  If the AFD has a phone
    number, a telephone call might answer the question.  Or
    try calling information to get the airport phone number.
    
    Y'all be carefull!
