Advice for flyer scared to land in ASE Aspen Co

Hi Everyone particularly people familiar with ASE

I purchased roundtrip tickets for early december on DEN-ASE on United (skywest).

My friend looked online and saw all the scary things people say about the Aspen airport and is freaking out. It doesnt help it makes some of the most dangerous airports list. We are landing at 9pm night and taking off at 140pm from ase. Any advice on what i can tell her to reassure her that the ASE airport is safe even a night landing?

In bad weather do they usually land in EGE and bus you? Early december you dont usually get the huge storms thankfully. The last two years there was like no snow and grass early december in aspen town elevtion but weather can change. These flights seem to cancel easily but i can understand given the terrain. Also early december is before the big ski rush so i know the flights wont be oversold like after christmas.
