All adverse wx situations magnified in mountains. Arpt rstd to max acft wingspan of 95′. Ops dur periods of reduced visibility discouraged for pilots unfamiliar with area. Unless ceilings are at least 2000′ abv highest terrain and visibility is 15 miles or more, mountain flying is not recommended. Due to high apch minimums pilots may need an IFR alternate even though wx is forecast to be higher than 2000′–3,000′. Terrain will not allow for normal tfc patterns. High rates of descent may be rqrd due to terrain and lcl procedures. Unique VFR dep procedures exist, call arpt ops 970–920–5760, or FBO 970–920–2016 for more info.
