The organization is pursuing several avenues to keep the spirit of the GoPro Mountain Games alive throughout the summer and is already planning for next year\u2019s event, scheduled for June 10-13, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Mountain Games is such an enormous and integral part of the VVF, the community and beyond and it is an event we, and thousands of others, look forward to each year with great anticipation. Unfortunately, an international event like this is simply not possible until we have completely stabilized from the coronavirus,\u201d Dave Dressman, vice president of sales and sponsorship for the Vail Valley Foundation, said in a news release.<\/p>\n<p>The Vail Valley Foundation will aim to lift spirits by hosting a virtual concert featuring several of the bands who would have performed live at this year\u2019s event as well as past GoPro Mountains of Music Performers. This virtual concert event will take place on June 4, the day the Mountain Games was planned to begin, and will be co-produced by the foundation and its partner, \u201cJam in the Van,\u201d known for creating widely-viewed, original musical performances on its YouTube channel. The online event will include performances by Twiddle, G. Love, Citizen Cope, Deer Tick, Ghost of Paul Revere and a \u2018Bluegrass Superjam\u2019 and others. Additional information will be forthcoming.<\/p>\n<p>More than 150 sponsors and 82,000 spectators attended the GoPro Mountain Games in 2019, according to the foundation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col\" readability=\"6\">\n<div class=\"row sd-donation sd-donation-mobile p-0\" readability=\"7\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-4 p-2\">\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/SDN-logo-white-1.png)\" class=\"p-0 mt-2 mb-2 h-75 text-center rocket-lazyload\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/SDN-logo-white-1.png\" class=\"logo m-0 p-0 invisible\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"d-inline mr-3\">Support Local Journalism<\/h3>\n<p><button class=\"btn d-inline\" type=\"button\" onclick=\"handleDonationButtonClickMidArticle()\">Donate<\/button><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Vail Valley Foundation will continue to find creative ways to engage with fans, athletes, participants, spectators and outdoor brands throughout the summer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur mountain community may not be able to gather like years\u2019 past, but we will still be out there on the river, on the trail, or anywhere that we can safely get outside and do what we love the most,\u201d Dressman said.<\/p>\n<p>For more on the GoPro Mountain Games, or to learn more about how your athlete registration will be affected, visit mountaingames.com.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/vails-gopro-mountain-games-officially-canceled-for-2020-due-to-coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vail Valley Foundation had rescheduled the annual GoPro Mountain Games from the original June 4-7 dates to Aug. 20-23, but Thursday announced that the event will not occur in 2020.Logan Robertson \/ Vail Daily VAIL \u2014 The Vail Valley Foundation had rescheduled the GoPro Mountain Games from the original June 4-7 dates to Aug.
