Aspen Packs a Different Bag This Season: All Sweat, No Sightseeing

A new kind of getaway is taking hold, one built around fitness retreats, athletic pursuits, and training rather than museums or beaches. Call it sweat-jetting: travelers are now choosing a destination by the workout on offer, not the tourist map. It is reshaping the suitcase as much as the itinerary, with performance layers taking the spot once held by evening wear and sneakers earning the packing priority heels used to claim. For a mountain town built on early starts and thin air, that is less a trend than a description of the regulars.
