Default Can they do this? Restrict airport to IFR traffic only?

Can they close an airport to all VFR traffic? This is what they're
doing at Friedman Memorial Airport at Hailey, Idaho [HLE].

You are omitting a significant fact; that is, the restrictions will be
temporary during a period where there are high-interest events taking
place.

You bet they can issue temporary restrictions based on a high-traffic
event, ramp capacity, and the challenging topography of that airport.

Note also that they are limiting even IFR arrivals.

It is not without precedent.
