“I don’t think there’s a more fun and unique event anywhere in the world,” said Dave Dressman, Event Director for the nonprofit Vail Valley Foundation, which operates the event each year. “Competitions for all levels and ages are available, spectating is free and the music, art, sponsor activations and festival atmosphere offers something for everyone. You don’t have to be an athlete to enjoy the Mountain Games as it is truly a celebration of mountain culture with a come-one-come-all vibe.”
MUSIC, ART, AND MORE
The Mountains of Music concerts in the evening at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in Vail are planned for the weekend, and Dressman said the concert schedule will be announced in late February.
Day and night the Town of Vail is filled with fun and activity at the GoPro Mountain Games, including free music in Vail Village and Golden Peak. There are also games, giveaways, and more than 100 sponsor tents and activations at the Mountain House Gear Town venue.
The event’s mantra is “athletes, art, music, and mountains,” and beneath the setting of the beautiful Rocky Mountains, the event brings some of the world’s most renowned athletes, influencers, brand partners, artists, musicians, and outdoor enthusiasts all together in one place to create an epicenter of the mountain lifestyle.
“There’s really nothing else like it,” Dressman said. “Mountain-lovers from around the world gather each year at the GoPro Mountain Games, old friends and new reconnect, and there is just a magic in the air to this event. I can’t wait.”
