Current pilot readout for K9U4
K9U4 is currently VFR with winds from 290° at 4 knots, visibility 10+ statute miles, and a 6,000 ft ceiling. the wind favors runway ends 24. Density altitude is approximately 6,600 ft (field elevation 6,549 ft). K9U4 does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KHDN, about 36 nm away.
K9U4 by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
K9U4 reported VFR in 92% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 306 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 8% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually fog and low visibility rather than low ceilings (visibility under 3 miles 3% of hours, ceilings under 1,000 ft 2%).
Snow fell on about 78 days a year. From December to February K9U4 was IFR or worse 7% of the time, against under 1% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 57 days a year.
Field elevation is 6,549 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 9,184 ft, 2,635 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 25% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 61 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and January 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.
