K2K3 by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
K2K3 reported VFR in 88% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 314 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and May the least, with IFR or worse 7% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 5% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Thunderstorms were reported on about 59 days a year.
Snow fell on about 21 days a year. From December to February K2K3 was IFR or worse 7% of the time, against 3% from June to August.
Field elevation is 3,325 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 5,986 ft, 2,661 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 23% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 63 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 11 kt) and August the calmest.

“Current use” is what the facilitystates; wind components are arithmetic on the current METAR against TRUE headings; status reflects NOTAMs received through SWIM, the tower's TFDM record and the D-ATIS — a runway reads “Open” only with a complete NOTAM picture.
