Head to Vail June 6-9, the Vail Valley Valley Foundation, host of the GoPro Mountain Games, is stoked to welcome athletes, spectators, music and art lovers, and of course, four-legged friends to Vail, Colorado this weekend.
The GoPro Mountain Games is an internationally recognized all-around mountain sports and culture event available anywhere in the world. This year’s Mountain Games features more than 4,000 athlete registrations (so far) across 11 different disciplines and more than 30 athletic competitions, and over $140 in prize money will be distributed.
The Games will have more than 75 dogs competing and dozens up for adoption. Professional and amateur athletes, never-evers, kids, families, and more, are invited to participate. The event also features a variety of art, over 100 sponsor activations, a food truck town, and the Mountains of Music concert series.
Mikaela Shiffrin joins the who’s who of mountain athletes at GoPro Mountain Games CoLab stage on Saturday
The world’s best ski racer, Mikaela Shiffrin, grew up near the slopes of Vail and Beaver Creek, and still calls nearby Edwards, Colorado, home. The most decorated alpine ski racer of all time, Shiffrin will join the action at the GoPro Mountain Games CoLab stage Saturday afternoon for a One-on-one interview to discuss the recent news that women’s speed event ski racing has been officially added to the calendar for this December Stifel Birds of Prey Audi FIS Ski World Cup in Beaver Creek Dec. 6-15, 2024. It will be the first time ever that women’s alpine racers will have a chance to compete on the iconic and world-renowned Birds of Prey course. The GoPro Mountain Games and the Stifel Birds of Prey are both empowered by the nonprofit Vail Valley Foundation.
After her 1:1 interview with Mountain Games hosts, Shiffrin will participate in the “Mountain Games Show” along with other notable athletes and influencers. (Note that Shiffrin will not be available for media interviews, autographs, or fan interactions.)
