Yes, something Vale? Very tricky airport due altitude, terrain, weather etc.
San Diego was also featured and the carpark on approach (How that got approved?) Meant steeper approach angle with the displaced threshold.

Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE/KEGE) would be the one referred to. In the Colorado Rockies at an elevation of 6547 ft, with much higher terrain around it. Would be a bit unnerving in poor weather.

It serves the Vail ski area.
