Watch out for the risks inherent to mountain flying, including:
-Rotors, turbulence, higher altitude winds and crosswinds
-Sudden changing weather conditions into solid/icing IMC
-Climb performance. Longer runways will be needed.
-Lack of areas to land in the event of engine failure
-Oxygen
-Terrain
Call me stupid but I somehow don't think a Sportcruiser (a VFR only machine) would be something I'd be willing to use to fly around there...
