Well, it's only 30 feet in 3000, but it does make a difference. Many pilots
land short the first few times they fly here. It looks flatter than it is.

completely frozen shut. I tried everything I could to get them open

success. In the manual it states that the 2A is not approved for
slipping.
Our runway is 3000ft long at 600ft msl. Fortunately we usually have
quite
a bit of wind here so that helps shorten the landing. I modified my
pattern
and had no problems getting it stopped well before the end of the
pavement
with the wheel brake.

And, your runway slopes uphill - a huge help.
