Of course, consult your P charts, but the Ozzi Alps are a mere pimple of the earth.
... now you are making me jealous. I flew into Telluride several years ago. Not only is it one of the best places in the world to ski - the airport is an absolute blast - unfortunately I was only a passenger.
I also saw my first full squadron of Gulfstreams there.
Fully agree it makes our so called "Australian Alps" look quite tame.
