Introduction

Enigma Lake, ENEA

Skiway by the side of the Enigma Lake, Northern Foothills. This skiway is pertinent to the Mario Zucchelli Station, from which it is 4 km far away.

It used from the Twin Otter from the middle to the end of the season.

Created in 2005 to avoid to operate the Twin Otter from the Browining Pass skiway. The Enigma Lake skiway is nearest to MZS of the Browning Pass skiway and, unlike the latter, it can be reached from the MZS, via surface, by standard vehicles. Unfortunately this skiway is too small to be suitable also for the Basler.
