Not merely ski resorts, but specifically Aspen (in Pitkin County) and Vail (in Eagle County). These are not merely fit retirees, but the richest retirees in the world. Further, there is a bit of selection bias here in that the town of Aspen is at 8000 feet of elevation. You need to have a decent baseline of physical fortitude just to step off the plane there as an older person... Finally, for what it is worth, day to day life in Aspen (even outside of the ski season) is extremely active and everything about the town promotes that activity. I personally don't think there is anything actionable or interesting[1] about Aspen and Vail having high life expectancies - they are completely non-representative of any piece of the real world. [1] Well, other than fitness and activity increasing your lifespan, but we all know that already.
