Peak Performance
Skiing first drew me to the Rocky Mountains, but I love hiking and cycling there in the summer, too. I’ll be doing both with Aspen Alpine Guides’ Leave the Boys Behind program, which specializes in women-only mountain treks and bike rides along winding roads. I plan to end each day with a massage or a facial at the cozy Auberge Spa in the Hotel Jerome. Here’s what I’ll pack for my trip.
