The MotherLode began in 1972 when a couple of Aspen, Colorado restaurateurs decided to spice up what was, at that time, a lackluster Labor Day Weekend by hosting a small, invitation only, volleyball tournament. Little did they know that their one day, 14 team tourney was going to become one of the biggest, and most popular, pro-am beach doubles volleyball events in North America - the MotherLode Volleyball Classic, held every Labor Day Weekend in Aspen, Colorado.
