Digital only phones, such as the VX4500 with Verizon, or any GSM phone have practically no coverage in Mountain areas such as A-Basin and Winter Park. There are regions of good reception, but shadowing effects are significant. Non-interstate highways are also wastelands for digital service, so since analog service is still provided in many of these areas, I still carry an old expired trimode phone for "911" emergency calls. Maybe it's a "West of the Mississippi" problem, too much area, not enough subscribers...
