What are some of the differences between Davos and Zurich?

Davos is a ski resort, Zurich is an insurance and banking town.
Zurich is bigger than Davos.
It rains all the time in Zurich, usually snows in the winter in Davos.
Davos hosts the Spengler cup hockey tournament and that World Trade thingie, but Celine Dion and the Cirque du Soleil are coming to Zurich.
Zurich has an airport, pretty sure Davos doesn't.
Zurich is the biggest city in Switzerland (population), but I believe Davos is the biggest Gemeinde (kind of like a township), in area.
I think Davos's hockey team is just called Davos, but Zurich's is the Lions.

Davos is in the mountain (Alps) ski resort
Zurich is the largest city in Swizterland (not in any mountains)
