MY FS FLIGHTS
Deerfield Valley Regional Airport, formerly known as Mount Snow Airport, was a small general aviation field one nautical mile southwest of West Dover in Windham County, Vermont, close to the Mount Snow ski area. The field was permanently closed by FAA NOTAM on 3 June 2019, and simulator pilots visiting the site today should treat it as a historic rather than an active destination.
Deerfield Valley Regional Airport served the Deerfield Valley community in southern Vermont, sitting close to the Mount Snow ski resort and other local attractions. Privately owned and open to the public during its operating life, it was a modest single-runway strip that for a period even hosted seasonal air-taxi flights connecting the resort area to the New York suburbs. The airport is of interest to simulator pilots chiefly as a preserved slice of Vermont backcountry flying history, since it was permanently closed by FAA NOTAM on 3 June 2019.
The airfield lies in Windham County, Vermont, about one nautical mile southwest of the central business district of West Dover. It sat within five miles of the Hermitage Club, the Hermitage Golf Course, and the Mount Snow ski area, placing it firmly within the Deerfield Valley resort district of southern Vermont.
The field had a single physical runway, 01/19, of 2,651 feet with a hard surface, and both ends were lit.
No communications frequencies are recorded for the field, and it had no published instrument approach or ILS.
No published circuit or joining procedures are available for this field.
The airport's position southwest of West Dover, close to the Mount Snow ski area, the Hermitage Club and the Hermitage Golf Course, provided the principal visual references for pilots operating in the Deerfield Valley area.
Originally known as Mount Snow Airport, the field was a privately owned, public-use airport covering 35 acres. For the twelve months to July 2013 it recorded around 3,100 general aviation operations, averaging 258 per month, with seven aircraft based there at the time, five single-engine and two multi-engine. Between 2012 and 2019 the field also saw seasonal scheduled passenger service, with Tradewind Aviation operating eight-seat Pilatus PC-12 air-taxi flights linking the airport to Westchester County Airport in White Plains, New York. The airport was permanently closed by FAA NOTAM on 3 June 2019.
Deerfield Valley Regional Airport is permanently closed and no longer operational; it does not offer fuel, services or active flying operations for visiting aircraft.
