St. Louis resident for 14 years with frequent visits to Steamboat Springs, Colorado and Lifetime Gold on American with 1.4M miles.

Miles needed for award = A (15,000 domestic is nice - with Ascent and above status you can use more miles and get any available seat)
Award availability = A (redeemed MCI to CUN with Ascent 45,000 miles)
Planes = B+ (I like the full jets on most routes and the onboard TV and with AA, I am fed up with their old RJs)
Routes = B (please announce Lynx service to Steamboat)
Marketing = C (please figure out that non-hub members have different requirements than Denver residents)

Overall = B
