The success of the GoPro Mountain Games is directly attributable to 80+ top tier outdoor lifestyle brands that choose this event as one of the platforms by which to showcase your products and services and grow your brand. We remain very proud of this event and sincerely hope it has helped you to exceed your own brand goals and objectives. 2013 was a year of many changes and we thank all of you for helping to make it the most well attended Mountain Games to date. Please enjoy this detailed stakeholder report and do not hesitate to contact us should you have questions or need additional information. Warm Regards, Mike Imhof, VP Sales & Operations Vail Valley Foundation MESSAGE TO OUR PARTNERS Photo © Zach Mahone 2013 STRENGTHS: Expanded national television package with three unique shows on NBC Sports Network and multiple re-airings on Universal Sports (x9 minimum) and Outside Television (x9 minimum). GoPro as new title partner. Secured multiple top tier public relations placements including CNET, Spike TV, Outside Magazine, Gizmodo, GrindTV and others. Elevated Slopestyle and Slackline events. Slopestyle as an FMB Silver event and the 2013 World Championships of Slackline in addition to the return of the only World Cup Bouldering event in the United States. Continued growth for social media properties including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. 467K ++ engagements across multiple platforms via the Mountain Games and our family of partners. Dogs. Increased participation in all DockDogs events and high social engagement for all things four legged. LOOKING TO THE FUTURE: Expanded music/artists and more integration of music throughout the event. 2013 acts left a bit to be desired (GROUPLOVE cancelled). Disparate location in Golden Peak East for IFSC Bouldering World Cup and fly fishing. An increased focus on out of market and international attendees and competitors. Capitalizing on high-value TV events/tailoring current events for a TV audience.
