Speed climbing debuts

For the first time, speed climbing joined the Mountain Games with a massive 49-foot-tall wall. Olympic athletes showcased world-class talent, flying up the structure in mere seconds and bringing a thrilling new dimension to the event. Golden Peak was packed for the finals, reaffirming that the newest discipline was a huge hit.

A doggone good time

Some of the country’s top canines showcased their agility, tricks, and flying disc skills at the brand-new Purina Pro Plan Incredible Dog Challenge Experience. The performances and open practices complemented the fan-favorite DockDogs competitions, bringing a new level of fun to Pro Plan Dog Town. Plus, 25 dogs found their forever homes through Eagle County Animal Services’ dog adoption events.

Volunteers smile for a photo at the 2025 GoPro Mountain Games

Being a GoPro Mountain Games Ambassador has helped me in so many ways. It’s prepared me for other volunteering opportunities. I also learned more about sports I didn’t know about, like speed climbing. All in all, I feel this experience has taught me so much and I am excited to participate next year!
