How can I register?
2026 athlete registration opens Feb. 4. Registration is available online and on-site 24 hours before each event.
Physical registration is located in the Golden Peak Base Lodge near Larkspur Restaurant.
Note that online registration closes at 6:00 PM the evening before each event unless otherwise stated on the individual event information page.
Remember that the early bird gets the worm – register early to ensure the best prices and avoid on-site hassles.
Where do I pick up my registration packet and athlete bag?
Athlete registration packets and swag bags can be picked up at Main Registration located at Golden Peak Base Lodge near Avanti Food Court.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to bring a valid form of ID (Drivers License, Passport, etc.) when you check-in at Athlete Registration. You will not be able to pick up your event bib(s) or athlete gift without it!

Can I refund, exchange, or transfer my registration?
No dice. The Mountain Games has a strict no refunds, exchanges, or transfers policy that every participant acknowledges and agrees to at the time of registration.
IMPORTANT: Cancelling your event registration forfeits your athlete gift. Athlete gifts may not be transferred to another individual or registrant upon cancellation.
Who can compete?
Open competitions welcome both amateur and pro athletes. Select events even allow dogs (not all of them—for obvious reasons). Invitational events are closed to the public. If you’re unsure about competing, check with your doctor… or your mom.
ADA Needs?
The GoPro Mountain Games will generally, upon request at least 2 weeks prior to the event, provide appropriate aids and services leading to effective communication for qualified persons with disabilities so they can participate equally in the Mountain Games programs and activities. Specific needs related to transit and parking should be directed to the Town of Vail. Please email Peggy Wolfe [[email protected]] for further assistance.
How can I spectate/get around?
Can’t make it everywhere? No problem. The GoPro Mountain Games are built for watching, wandering, and jumping into the action—whether you’re here for one event or the whole weekend. Spectating on-site is always free.
Events and experiences pop up from Golden Peak through Vail Village and Lionshead, all connected by an easy walk. Free Town of Vail buses help you get around, but heads up—dogs can’t ride the buses during the Mountain Games.
When and where are the concerts?
Our Mountains of Music concert series takes place at the The Amp in Ford Park. Thursday through Saturday night starting when the competitions wrap!
Can I bring my dog on the bus?
While attendees and competitors can walk around the GoPro Mountain Games with their dogs on leashes, dogs are not allowed on the free Town of Vail buses during the Mountain Games.
How can I become a Mountain Games Partner?
Expo and demo areas are situated throughout the event where vendors will have their latest and greatest merch on display and on sale. For inquiries on our booth application process please fill out a contact form.
