How about adding Juneau Alaska to your list. The west (runway 26) approach is down the channel with tall mountains on each side and the weather is usually foul. Turbulence is often bad because of the surrounding mountains.

The approach from the west (runway 8) isn't much better with low hills at the end, and flights having to fly thru a "cut "in the hill and then turn sharply right at low altitude to line up with the runway.
