For Aspen, pack insulated layers, waterproof ski gear, and warm boots with good grip. Include gloves, a thermal hat, and moisture-wicking base layers. Bring sunscreen and polarized goggles for high-altitude sun. A compact hydration pack, lip balm, and hand warmers help on the slopes, while casual layers suit après-ski evenings.

For a trip to Aspen, pack:

• A warm, waterproof winter jacket and layered clothing (base layer, mid‑layer, outer shell) for cold and snow.
• Insulated snow boots with good grip for walking on snowy surfaces.
• Gloves, a warm hat/beanie, and a scarf — essential for mountain weather.
• Sunglasses and sunscreen (snow reflects sunlight strongly) and UV‑protective eyewear.
• A sturdy backpack or daypack for hikes or ski gear, plus a refillable water bottle for altitude.

Bring warm boots with good traction, waterproof ski gear, and insulated layers for Aspen. Add base layers that wick away moisture, a thermal cap, and gloves. For high-altitude sun, pack polarized goggles and sunscreen. On the slopes, a small hydration pack, lip balm, and hand warmers come in handy, and casual layers are ideal for à-ski evenings.
