Vail Valley News & Trends

Elite Street
The top of Bridge Street gains upper crust status in 2026 as Brad Kaemmer reimagines Los Amigos cantina as The Sixty Two Society, an exclusive slopeside club with a ski concierge, a tony restaurant with a 2,000-bottle cellar, and an homage to Donovan’s Copper Bar.

TN Torch Pass
In mid-January, Roxanne and Ty Hall decided to sell Tennessee Pass Cookhouse, a Nordic center above Camp Hale they purchased in 1993 for $5,000 and over decades grew into a backcountry inn and restaurant plating multicourse gourmet meals. The asking price: $2.25 million. “If someone comes today and buys it,” Ty told The Denver Post, “It comes with sold-out reservations for [the] next year.” At press time in late April, the listing was under contract.

Glamp Decamp
Denver-based glamping conglomerate Collective Retreats has pulled up the gilded stakes at Collective Vail, its safari tent luxury camp at Wolcott’s 4 Eagle Ranch and at a similar operation in Texas Hill Country. The company also waved off a planned takeover and luxe makeover of a Colorado dude ranch near Grant, but you can still get your Collective glamping fix on Governor’s Island in NYC.

Golden Hour
The Denver-based food hall impresarios at Avanti F&B continue the transition of Golden Peak’s base area lodge from a wintertime clubhouse for ski kids to a year-round destination for adults with a slew of summer events on Avanti Vail’s slopeside patio, including Yoga on the Lawn (Sundays), Volleyball Night (Mondays), Hot Summer Nights pre-parties (Tuesdays), and Movies on the Lawn (Thursdays).
