Actually, ASE is far more likely to be a problem. The single direction runway combined with high altitude, frequent storms and an aircraft that wasn't really built for that situation (CR7) means United's ASE schedule is pretty much a joke in the winter. Combine that with United's legendary customer service and you have a fine recipe for a frustrating misconnect. Flying into SFO in the winter only adds fuel to the fire.
