Surprise! Below is an ice runway that I didn’t know existed here! That will definitely be worth a visit sooner than later with a ski equipped aircraft.

Last few miles before starting the approach.

Tipella runway is 55 feet ASL. It is 50 feet wide und 2300 feet long. That is plenty for the Otter.

A bit of a crosswind on the approach.
