The Other Side of the Mountain: Summer Unfolds in Vail

June 3, 2025

When the snow melts and Vail Mountain sheds its winter coat, something magical emerges: a summer season that’s just as breathtaking as its powder-filled counterpart. The air is warm and crisp, wildflowers bloom along sun-dappled trails, and the alpine glow stretches long into the evening. Summer in Vail isn’t just a season—it’s a state of mind.


GoPro Mountain Games: Where Adrenaline Meets Art

The buzz begins early in June, as the iconic GoPro Mountain Games return (June 5–8, 2025)This beloved event fills Vail Village with athletes, art, and adventure. Crowds gather to watch world-class competitors tackle kayaking rapids, scale rock walls, and leap with their dogs into splash pools in DockDog. The pulse of the village quickens, and for a few days, Vail becomes a festival of adrenaline, live music, and mountain culture.


Vail Craft Beer Classic: Cheers to Mountain Life

The Vail Craft Beer Classic (June 13–14, 2025) taps into the high-country spirit with brews as bold as the scenery. Breweries from across the country gather to showcase their latest creations, pairing perfectly with blue skies and backyard-style games along Gore Creek. It's the kind of event where strangers quickly become friends, and each pint feels like a toast to mountain life.


Vail America Days: Fourth of July Festivities

Independence Day brings with it the timeless joy of Vail America Days. (July 4, 2025) Families spread picnic blankets across the grass while live music plays from the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater. The Salute to America Parade down Bridge Street is part tradition, part celebration, and wholly unforgettable. Fireworks echo across the peaks as the village glows with patriotic pride.


Bravo! Vail Music Festival: Music Beneath the Stars

By mid-summer, the Bravo! Vail Music Festival (June 26–August 7, 2025)fills the air with symphonies and chamber music, performed by world-renowned orchestras like The New York Philharmonic and The Philadelphia Orchestra. The outdoor amphitheater, nestled beneath the mountain’s gaze, becomes a sanctuary for sound—where concertgoers sip wine under starry skies.


Everyday Adventure: Vail’s Natural Beauty

But beyond the marquee events, Vail’s everyday summer beauty is what truly enchants. Scenic gondola rides, hiking and mountain biking, fly fishing on Gore Creek, and paddle boarding on Piney Lake are just the beginning. Trails wind through aspen groves, meadows sway with wildflowers and columbine, and moose sightings are never out of the question.


Something for Everyone in Vail

Whether you're an adventurer, a music lover, a foodie, or simply someone looking to slow down and soak up beauty—Vail is alive with rhythm and energy.

Redefining Ease at Elevation: How the Northstar App Elevates Vail Hospitality

June 7, 2025
In a world where "time off" often comes with its own to-do list, the modern vacation has lost some of its ease. Gear to organize, reservations to track, arrivals to coordinate, and dinners to plan—it can feel like you're managing your life in a different ZIP code rather than escaping it. We built THE SIXTY TWO™ Society around a different idea. From the beginning, our vision was to craft more than a space.

The Why Behind THE SIXTY TWO™ Society-Vail

By Brad Kaemmer • June 3, 2025
I just wanted to take a quick moment to introduce you to my lifelong ambition: creating something extra special at the base of Vail Mountain . THE SIXTY TWO™ Society is my legacy return to the valley and will, without question, exceed every expectation. I was born, raised, worked, learned, and ultimately my career was shaped by my native home and those early pioneers that mentored me here in Vail. What I learned growing up in Vail is that intention lives in the details. That warmth isn't loud—it’s omnipresent. That an intimate space can shift your state of mind, if you build it with care, love, and sincerity. THE SIXTY TWO™ Society is a culmination of that hospitality architecture… a tribute to the quiet, yet personalized touches that can make a place unforgettable while building lasting generational traditions. Some of my favorite memories in Vail weren’t made on the mountain—they happened after the skis were off and the spirit of hospitality and camaraderie reigned supreme. I have purposefully studied service cultures where every detail matters—where engagement is an art form and intention is everything. I’ve been fortunate enough to help shape unique restaurant spaces, lead teams, run emerging companies, and cultivate exceptional experiences in culinary locations across the country. However, nothing pulls at my heartstrings like the power of Vail. As we continue to bring THE SIXTY TWO™ Society to life, those efforts are what help guide us and ultimately shape our cultural ethos. We’re not building a clubhouse, ski locker room, or storage facility… We are setting the table for the kind of iconic experiences that resonate with families long after the snow melts. As a multi-dimensional, accomplished hospitality industry veteran, CEO, sommelier, and culinarian, this project has become my destiny and changed my life in a meaningful way. We are creating a place where tradition feels alive, attention to detail is paramount, and every action creates a cherished memory. People ask me why THE SIXTY TWO™ Society ? Or why now? Truth is, it was never one big grandiose idea. It was a thousand little ones, gathered over a lifetime and stitched together over decades in the hospitality and service industry. I believe in and cherish community, in artisanal craftsmanship, in doing things the right way, and in giving every guest a compelling reason to return. THE SIXTY TWO™ Society isn’t just a place—it’s a reflection of all that has shaped me and, most importantly, a tribute to those who showed me what matters most. I didn’t set out to build something exclusive for exclusivity’s sake—but rather something meaningful, rooted in excellence, and something to be proud of for my family. Not grandeur. Not luxury for the sake of luxury. Just something true, boutique, and personal. Something lasting and remarkable.
