Too bad the guy did not tell you the whole . Yes, they might crash all over the place in the Rockies, but there is a valley with a river running out of Aspen that you can follow that is pretty much downhill for a long time.
We train to use it in the jet if we take off and lose an engine right after lift-off. Single engine, heavy, no plane will climb very well so we look for every option in a place like Aspen.
A turbo twin is nice but many times the second engine just carries you to the scene of the accident. A good turbo single in many cases is safer.
