I've asked that same question at meetings that included many of the movers and shakers in the ski and lodging industry along with the well connected airport director. They seem to have made a concerted effort by means unknown to me to stay off the list. Don't think it helps the fiscal bottom line to have your airport on anyone's conscience mind as being a dangerous one.

I recall after the relatively recent cable channel show about the most dangerous airports that passengers getting on the plane to EGE would ask if it was really that bad. Guess its not just nerdy pilots who watch that type of stuff.

EGE is a challenging airport, but it ain't no ASE.
