We are Australian and not used to big mountains! When I google EGE things like “dangerous airport” come up. Which is off putting. We have never flown on an Canadair RJ either.

Interested in any thoughts on how much more of a “thrill ride” landing at EGE might be compared to DEN.

Thanks
You'll be fine at EGE....done it many times with no issues. The drive to/from Denver actually is more scary if there is a snow storm.
