GearJunkie spent a long weekend in Vail, Colo., reporting on the 11th annual Summer Teva Mountain Games. We covered slacklining comps, ran a half-marathon up to 10,000 feet, watched freeride bike events in Vail Village, and much more over the past few days. We’re back home now, recovering from the fun and the competition in the mountains around Vail. Here are a few final images we captured from the event, one of our favorite excuses to get outdoors and live life to the max as a ceremonial kickoff each year to summer. —Sean McCoy
