Articles & Insights from Vail

Ski season returns to Vail on November 14. Founder Brad Kaemmer reflects on the valley’s rhythm, winter traditions, and what’s ahead for THE SIXTY TWO™ Society.

There is a distinct emotional difference between eating and dining — between a place that just serves food and a place that creates truly memorable culinary entertainment experiences. At THE SIXTY TWO™ Society , that difference extends far beyond each table. This is a limited social club built around connection, comfort, and culinary excellence — a place where hospitality is as intentional and cornerstone as the design itself. The blueprint of THE SIXTY TWO™ Society is more than architectural — it is a narrative where every project decision has deliberate purpose.  From the copper bar inspired by Vail’s alpine roots, to the amber-lit onyx back bar reflecting the mountain’s first original runs, to the mesquite herringbone wood floor out of our family’s Texas ranch; every interior element tells a unique story. While THE SIXTY TWO™ Restaurant stands at the heart of it all, the enjoyment is much broader: fireside gatherings, complimentary transportation, concierge resort services, intimate / private spaces, and effortless ski valet access just steps from Gondola One. Here, food is not an amenity — it is the anchor for a lifestyle that has long been missing in Vail. Every visit will feel personal, polished, and precisely what you didn’t know you were missing; culinary moments that linger. Take a closer look at what is taking shape with our 3-D Virtual Tour. It is a glimpse into the new standard of hospitality that Vail has long been waiting for again.

At infancy, when we envisioned THE SIXTY TWO™ Restaurant , it was never meant to feel like a hotel dining room, cafeteria, casual Mexican space, or just another crowded bar at the base of Vail Mountain across from Gondola One. It had to be something far more curated and grandiose, advanced in every ingredient sourcing detail, comfortable cuisine, yet approachable and refined enough to feel genuine; an authentic, intentional and thoughtful sense of culinary entertainment. Too often, traditional club dining in Vail has been reduced to oatmeal packets, power bars before first tracks or a marginal grab-go-lunch — amenities meant to fill the gap rather than create truly remarkable or noteworthy food & beverage experiences. That is so counterintuitive to our vision and approach to cuisine at THE SIXTY TWO™ Restaurant, where different gastronomy styles and flavor profiles will meld to create crave worthy encounters. Rest assured, THE SIXTY TWO™ Society’s cuisine will always be central and paramount, never secondary. Members will have open access to a full-service establishment just steps from Gondola One, with options designed to fuel the day and evenings crafted to evoke connection and engagement. Seasonal menus, fireside après cocktails, and a wine and spirits program curated by Doug Frost, one of only four people that are a Master Sommelier & Masters of Wine in the world, will ensure every table reflects intention and quality.  At the end of the day, we are not just a locker room / ski storage facility with food as an afterthought or nuisance…….we are a polished upscale, multi-dimensional restaurant with fully kitted concierge benefits, reciprocal services, and local amenities embedded. We invite you to take a virtual tour . Elevated. Comfortable. Purposeful. Your table will be waiting.

When I think back to growing up in the Vail Valley , I remember far more than just the mountains. I remember the dreamers and doers who built something extraordinary here, who believed this remote alpine town could become the greatest ski resort in the world. Not with grand plans on paper, but with handshakes, warmth, and a belief that hospitality was about welcoming people in as family. At that early age, I didn’t fully realize how much those initial experiences would shape and move me. Like many young locals, I dreamed of going out into the world, proving myself, and building something extraordinary. Leaving Vail with that aspiration in mind, I immersed myself in the world of all things food and beverage — studying, practicing, and honing my craft until hospitality became not just a career, but a calling. Along the way, I promised myself: if I ever came back to Vail, it would only be for something truly remarkable, something uniquely differentiated . Something that would honor this community, the 1960’s pioneering spirit of the founders, while at the same time redefining what hospitality could mean for generations to come. Influenced by Pioneers That promise was anchored in the lessons of those in Vail who came before me. The Valley’s earliest pioneers taught me that hospitality was never about flash or profit — it was about people. It was Walter & Mary Claire Moritz making guests feel like family as if they were lifelong old friends. Sheika & Pepi Gramshammer infusing Old World warmth into the alpine experience, making visitors feel as comfortable at their table as they would in their own home. Renie & David Gorsuch bringing craftsmanship, style and genuineness to every element, pouring their passion into every detail, proving that excellence and authenticity could live side by side.  These and so many others proved that conviviality is about creating spaces where people feel welcomed, recognized, and at home; those moments, often small and unassuming, taught me that the spirit of true hospitality was about genuine heartfelt connection. Their examples formed the foundational DNA of what would eventually become the spirit of THE SIXTY TWO™ Society Vail. Shaped by Peers While chasing my own ambitious career path, those lessons stayed with me as I pursued my profession across the food and beverage landscape. I was fortunate and had the privilege of working alongside some of the most talented and visionary leaders in the industry, learning from noteworthy peers whose influence shaped not just my career, but my overall executional philosophy. People like Paul Fleming , whose influence on concept creation and restaurant culture taught me the importance that courageous visionary ideas mean little without the discipline of execution. Colleagues such as Rick Federico who instructed me that it is the people, that drive the quality of operations that result in sales and profits and finally Rob Samuels , who reinforced that real leadership is measured not by what you gain, but by how you treat the people you serve and whose standards of excellence and commitment to people over profit left an indelible mark. These relationships, forged across decades and diverse settings, were more than professional collaborations — they became masterclasses in how to lead from out front, how to build top performing teams, and how to create spaces where people truly want to belong. These pioneers and peers — some I knew from a boyhood vantage point, others I worked beside as a professional — together formed the circle of influence that guides me today. Their decades of operational excellence and wisdom have been woven into every decision behind THE SIXTY TWO™ Society — from the way our dining service strategy is curated to the core values and executional ethos we are cultivating within our walls. Returning With Purpose In truth, it would have been easier to sell the parcel of land and step away, but that’s not who I am. I felt — and still feel — a deep responsibility to give back to the town that gave so much to my upbringing and my career. That responsibility became a vision: to bring energy back to the top of Bridge Street at the base of Gondola One. To create a space that is intentionally intimate and extraordinary, where families connect, friendships deepen, and legacy roots are cemented in stone. THE SIXTY TWO™ Society is not a money grab. It is a passion project. A legacy project. A generational tribute to Vail’s earliest days of authentic hospitality and the many people — pioneers and peers alike — who shaped my journey. This is not just a place to store skis. It is a place to belong.

The team behind THE SIXTY TWO™ Society , has deep roots in the Vail Valley. Brad Kaemmer, our owner, founder and visionary, has been entrenched in the hospitality community for generations. His parents came to town in the mid 1960’s to open The Clock Tower Inn, setting the standard for service excellence in the Vail Village. THE SIXTY TWO™ Society is proud to have officially partnered with another early pioneering family who have also made Vail spectacular for many generations. No other organization embodies the same professionalism more than our neighbors, friends and now partners: The Gorsuch Family. David & Renie Gorsuch opened their first store back in 1962 and have long-been dear friends of the Kaemmer family since the early days. The Gorsuch team will manage THE SIXTY TWO™ Society's ski membership needs including ski storage, ski valet, demos, boot warming, ski rentals and more.

When I began shaping THE SIXTY TWO™ Society Vail , I knew it had to be more than just a place to gather and eat. It had to be something families could proudly pass on to future generations, something timeless that would matter and remain relevant 10, 20, even 50 years from now. That is why our Founding Member tiers were built with three guiding principles: Legacy This membership isn’t just for you—it’s for your family’s story in Vail. It can be passed down to your children, ensuring that the same ski-in/ski-out mornings, fireside evenings, and shared traditions you create now will be part of their lives for decades to come. It’s the opportunity to embed your family into the fabric of a community designed to remain as intimate and personal as it is today. Real Estate Transferability On select tiers, if you decide to move out of the area, your membership can be included in the sale of your home as an added amenity and tangible asset. For the buyer, it means stepping directly into the lifestyle you’ve enjoyed; for you, it means your investment in THE SIXTY TWO™ Society Vail can directly enhance the marketability and value of your property. 100% Refundability On select tiers (now available), your full investment is protected. That peace of mind isn’t an afterthought—it’s a committed promise. A total of 62 Society memberships are being offered. Some have already been subscribed to, and the remainder will be placed with those who share our vision before we open in Summer 2026. This intimate and boutique scale is by design, ensuring every member is known, valued, and part of something extraordinary, not just another locker room or traditional membership club experience. From the start, this has been about far more than ski-in/ski-out convenience, elevated dining at THE SIXTY TWO™ Restaurant , or year-round concierge and hospitality services. It’s about building something lasting, iconic, and above all else…..memorable. If you have been considering joining as a Founding Member, now is the time to secure your place to be enjoyed for years and generations to come.

The interior design at THE SIXTY TWO™ Society Vail pays homage to the spirit of the mountain town’s early days , blending the nostalgic charm of its 1962 ski-town roots with an upscale, refined, and modern sensibility. Our design features timeless materials thoughtfully chosen for both comfort and elegant character. Imagine weathered copper, reclaimed antique oak paired with mesquite end-cut herringbone flooring, all complemented by Colorado buff sandstone and handmade artisan tiles. The custom backlit onyx bar facade was designed with the original Vail chairlift map embedded in hand-forged iron. Additional upscale elements include custom leather-wrapped detailing and stitching, deep Vail blues in the plaster ceiling of the private dining Society Suite, and cozy mohair seating in the Members-Only Living Room. Every finish—from patinated metals and native Colorado materials to hand-selected textiles—was crafted to evoke a sense of heritage and intention. The result is a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels both storied and fresh: an authentic reflection of Vail, then and now. THE SIXTY TWO™ Society’s boutique and intimate space will also feature a slope-side fire pit, a floor-to-ceiling interior fireplace, a 2,000-bottle custom wine display, and convertible doors and windows for year-round alpine comfort. With an eight-million-dollar full remodel, no elegant detail has been spared. You’ll feel welcomed by luxurious finishes and personalized touches that reflect the elevated design aesthetic our members have come to love and expect in Vail. We invite you to explore the inspiration behind the spaces .
