KEGE by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued 9 ground stops and 10 ground delay programs for EGE between October 2025 and October 2026, affecting 14 days. Traffic volume was the most common reason (10 of 19). A typical ground stop lasted about 1 h 14 min.
KEGE reported VFR in 95% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 313 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 5% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 1% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 25 had the best headwind 52% of the time, runway 07 48%, and winds were calm 42% of hours. Winds most often blow from the east. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 52 days a year. From December to February KEGE was IFR or worse 4% of the time, against under 1% from June to August.
EGE departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 71% of the time across 3,968 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (82%) and noon to 3 PM did worst (66%).
Thunderstorms were reported on about 27 days a year. 76% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
