The white tension fabric roof of the airport’s Jeppesen terminal is reminiscent of the snow-capped Rocky Mountains. The roof is supported by 34 masts and 10 miles of cable. The terminal houses a large display of public art.

Some organization had a contest to name the NHL team when it moved from Quebec. My favorite among the announced losers was, "Colorado Baggage Handlers".

when you're stuck on the access road, it feels like you're closer to Kansas then those vaunted Rocky Mountains.
