Jun 1, 2017

One week from today, the GoPro Mountain Games will be kicking off in Vail, CO. This annual event is a culmination of major outdoor & adventure sports, art, music and family fun. In the true GoPro spirit, we are most excited to see the event from your perspective and will be hosting a variety of ways for you to engage with us while enjoying all that Vail Village has to offer.

For those attending the event in Vail, your first stop should be to sign up for our on-site Scavenger Hunt at the GoPro Experience Dome in Gear Town. GoPro will provide you with a shot list and challenges you to turn your shots into an awesome video using the Quik app, available free for iOS and Android. All participants of the scavenger hunt will receive GoPro Swag and the chance to win a Hero5 Black, Karma Grip or Full Karma Drone Kit! Make sure to check out the rules and sign up HERE.

Fancy yourself more of a Photographer than film maker? GoPro Awards has partnered with Vail Valley to offer a unique Mountain Games Challenge as part of the annual Mountain Click Photo Competition. Free for all GoPro submissions, submit your best mountain moments for the opportunity to earn cash! Learn more about the Mountain Click Photo Competition or submit directly to GoPro Awards HERE. Don't have a GoPro? No Worries - we've got loaners at the GoPro Experience Dome in Gear Town.

Looking for inspiration? Friday, June 8th - Grab your blankets, coolers, and lawn chairs and join us on the grass next to Vail's Gondola One for a series of inspirational and adventure-heavy short films from the creative minds at Yeti and GoPro. Films start at 7:30pm on the 16 x 9 HD Videoboard located in Mountain Plaza.

Watching from afar and want to stay in the game? Make sure to follow our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter feeds as we will be hosting Live interviews with GoPro Athletes and Influencers, sharing the best GoPro Awards photos and video submissions and spreading the love far and wide with GoPro giveaways all week long!
