“It’s about the Journey not the destination.”

Today I got to sit down and talk with the event lead organizer for the upcoming GoPro Mountain Games. Dave explains all that goes into hosting a premier event on this large scale. We also dive deep into the hard decisions that were made to postpone and pivot during the COVID pandemic as well as make the decision early on to try and make it happen to reopen in 2021. This conversation gives a great insight into what all goes into hosting events on a large scale from the organization, management, brand partnership and those tough decisions that need to be made. I sure am stoked to be heading to Vail this week and I hope to be able to see some of you there.
