Shoot, it doesn't look any worse than Asen. As a matter of fact the valley is a heck of a lot wider than Aspen. I know that the runway/airport is a lot bigger than Aspen.

Only the visual approaches. They've got that new OTAWS (On Time Arrival Warning System) that helps them assign the speed restrictions 500 miles out.
