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.

Design That Tells A Story - Inside The Sixty Two Society

July 26, 2025
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 . Opening June 2026.
