Alix Earle recounts an action-packed four-day trip to Aspen, filled with nightly outings, memorable music performances, and a mix of mishaps and wild antics alongside her sister, her friend, and her boyfriend.
During their stay in Aspen, Alix and her group made it a point to go out every night, seeking adventure and entertainment. They embarked on various activities, planning to make lasting memories, even considering customizing their cowboy hats from Kemosabe with initials or a date to remember the trip by.
The group's nighttime excursions were diverse and exciting, with visits to the Palm Tree Music Festival to see acts like Labyrinth, David Guetta, the Chainsmokers, and Kygo. Braving the cold, Alix recalls needing gloves from Braxton while holding her chilly drink during the concerts. Backstage access one evening added to the thrilling festival experience.
Alix also talks about attending a private event at a rented restaurant, suggesting a level of exclusivity to their Aspen escapades. The group continued their lively nights at different venues, including a saloon and a house party, where their spirited, carefree behavior was in full display.
The energy of the group was seemingly boundless as Alix mentions their wild dancing at Casa Tua, an experience she found fun, though she was conscious of potentially being seen as annoying by others.

Alix humorously details the various falls and slips, including her friend Sally's tumble in heels and another friend Ashton's slip in moon boots, whilst forecasting her own potential spill if opting for heels.
