Warren–Sugarbush Airport covers an area of 125 acres (51 ha) at an elevation of 1,470 feet (448 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 04/22 with an asphalt surface measuring 2,575 by 30 feet (784.8 x 9.1 m). For the 12-month period ending January 1, 2005, the airport had 18,500 aircraft operations, an average of 51 per day: 100% general aviation. At that time there were 70 aircraft based at this airport: 29% single-engine, and 71% gliders.[1]
Events and tourism
The airport is mainly used for private aircraft (seasonal) but during the summer a soaring company called Sugarbush Soaring operates a glider service, offering scenic rides and lessons from May-September. The airport closes in the winter when snow is on the ground and is transformed into a Nordic ski center called Ole's. Ole's uses the airport and surrounding land for trails.[citation needed]
