VAIL — With the exception of 2020, the King of the Mountain volleyball tournament has been one of the longest running athletic events in Eagle County, taking place every Father’s Day weekend since 1972.
Throughout its history, the tournament was run by Leon Fell, but Fell decided to hang it up after concluding the 47th edition of his annual event. Fell sold the tournament in July 2019.
The tournament is now run by Volleyball of the Rockies, which kicked off the 2021 event Thursday in the same way the King of the Mountain always begins, with the longest-playing players playing first.
