New Tiffindell Runway

Postby Apollo » Mon Apr 07, 2008 10:29 am

Hi all

We recently spent a few days at the Tiffindell resort, which is currently undergoing LOTS of upgrading of accommodation and facilities.
(the main ski slope and lift is now 1 km long)

This includes a 1km NEW RUNWAY that is almost complete :)
and its only a couple of kms away from the resort
(rather than the one at Barkly East 75km away on a sand road)

Altitude approx 2,700 m ASL

Pics attached.

See you there!!!

Can you see the runway in winter?
Why don't they paint the rocks at the side of the runway orange or some other colour(not the same than the snow)?
Looks like a nice place to land.
Thanks for the info.

I have forwarded your suggestion to the "right person" at Tiffindell and will update you if/when I hear more.
