This celebration of mountain sport, soul and culture returns to Vail, June 5-8.

Professional and amateur outdoor adventure athletes from the Vail Valley and around the world will converge upon the mountains and rivers of Vail to compete in seven sports and ten disciplines including: freestyle and extreme kayaking, kayak and raft paddlecross, bouldering, speed and dyno climbing, mountain bike freeride, big air, cross country, and road racing, as well as trail running, the GNC Ultimate Mountain Challenge, and the first U.S.-based World Cup Climbing event in 20 years.

In addition to the athletic events, the Teva Mountain Games will include a mountain photography competition, an interactive exhibition and demo area, mountain lifestyle parties, which have been known to make some athletes and groupies miss their race the next day, and live music with a free Ozomatli show headlining the musical line-up.

Oh, and don't forget the awesome dog competitions.
