        "question": "Which cities in Colorado can I fly to directly or with one stop from Vancouver?",
        "answer": "From Vancouver you can fly non-stop to Denver, which is the main gateway for the Rocky Mountains and central Colorado. For other cities like Colorado Springs, Aspen, or Grand Junction, you typically connect through Denver, Seattle, or Salt Lake City. Choose Denver for most ski resorts and city stays, while Colorado Springs serves the Pikes Peak region. Smaller mountain airports like Aspen or Vail are best for direct ski access but may require additional connections and higher fares."
