WESTPORT, CT — Outside TV, the official content-production partner of the 2017 and 2018 GoPro Mountain Games, is proud to unveil a two-part original programming special chronicling the action from the best all-around mountain experience available anywhere in the world: the GoPro Mountain Games.

The GoPro Mountain Games is a four-day event consisting of nine sports and 25 disciplines including climbing, running, kayaking, standup paddling, slacklining and more. The 16th annual GoPro Mountain Games took place this past June in Vail, Colorado, and was attended by more than 70,000 adventure-sports enthusiasts from around the world.

Outside TV, the leader in adventure lifestyle sports, and the GoPro Mountain Games are natural partners. With this alliance, Outside TV is able to authentically showcase to a national audience what the event truly entails. From the individual sports and competitions to the various athlete story lines, along with all the family fun, adventures and enthusiasm captured in between, this two-part special on the GoPro Mountain Games 2017 is a must-watch whether you’re an adventure enthusiast or not.

“Outside TV thrives on pushing boundaries and capturing the most compelling adventure story lines. Naturally, producing original programming for the GoPro Mountain Games was an organic fit, and one we were happy and proud to produce,” says Rob Faris, SVP of programming at Outside TV. “We’re already underway with planning and preparation for 2018.”

“The GoPro Mountain Games are truly compelling for any audience, and there is no better organization than OutsideTV to capture the key story lines and share the action from this event,” says Dave Dressman, vice-president of sales and sponsorship for the Vail Valley Foundation, the nonprofit organization that has hosted the event for the past 9 years. “This is a marriage of like-minded brands; Outside TV has an innate understanding of mountain culture and the talent to tell the story in a captivating way.
