THE TRIP FORECAST
Load the latest National Weather Service outlook. Trip dates appear when available within its forecast window.
BEFORE THE ADVENTURE
Check the day’s temperature, wind and precipitation before the e-bike outing or hike. Keep a warm layer and weather-resistant outer layer handy.
For the airport drive, check I-70 and Vail Pass conditions before setting the final departure time.
Colorado road conditions ↗A forecast is not a booking: outdoor plans stay flexible. Dates beyond the forecast window are marked unavailable, never filled with guesses.
A suggested capsule for four nights.
Outfit ideas are inspiration, not a uniform.
WEDNESDAY · ARRIVAL & SLOPE ROOM
Comfortable trousers or dark denim, a soft knit and walking shoes for the journey. Add ankle boots, loafers or a jacket for dinner.
THURSDAY · ZUMA
A midi dress with boots and a warm coat; or tailored trousers, a fine-gauge knit or collared shirt, and a blazer. A ruby accessory is an easy finishing touch.
Reservation dress code: no baseball caps, flip-flops/sandals, activewear or sweat-attire.
FRIDAY · TRAIL TO SWEET BASIL
For the optional hike: breathable base layer, fleece, weather-resistant jacket and shoes with traction. For dinner and nightlife: dressy separates or a dress, closed-toe shoes and a warm evening layer.
SATURDAY · PRIVATE CHEF
Easy layers for daytime. For our signature evening: a favorite dress, tailored separates or trousers with a polished knit. Comfortable enough to linger, dressed up enough for photos.
SUNDAY · HEADING HOME
Rewear your comfortable travel outfit, keep a jacket accessible and leave room for the trip’s keepsakes.
LESS LUGGAGE, MORE ROOM
Suggested: 2–3 daytime bottoms, 3–4 tops, 1–2 warm knits, a warm coat and a packable weather layer. Mix and repeat evening pieces. Aim for one walking pair and one dinner pair; add trail shoes only if needed.
Seven people share the SUV—compact bags help. These quantities are suggestions, not requirements.

Everyone celebrating with them is the & Company.
Five days in the mountains to celebrate these two—and the people who make it all worth remembering.
