Explore Alpenglow Events
Alpenglow Sports hosts a full calendar of events to celebrate life in mountain communities. We have two simple goals: 1) to inspire and motivate mountain athletes to pursue their outdoor dreams and 2) to raise funds for nonprofit organizations making a tangible difference in the North Lake Tahoe and Truckee communities. Join us at our next event!
The Alpenglow Sports Winter Speaker Series presented by NTCA is the largest free community speaker series in the country. We host the biggest names in the outdoor industry who share stories about outdoor adventure. Each event benefits a local nonprofit organization.
100,000 Views
With thousands of attendees at each event and a huge online audience, we estimate that 100,000 people have watched the Winter Speaker Series.
$2 Million Raised
We raise +$75,000 for each non-profit beneficiary. With five non-profits this season and giving on the rise, we intend to raise close to $500,000 this year.
19 Years Running
We started in the back room of a small restaurant and bar in Tahoe City. 19 years later, we pack the house at the biggest venue in the area.
Demo backcountry gear at Palisades
The Annual Lake Tahoe Backcountry Demo Event is North America’s largest demo event for all things alpine touring, telemark and splitboarding. The event is held annually at the Alpine side of Palisades Tahoe, a destination known for great out-of-bounds terrain and easy to access side-country. The event provides a forum to perpetuate the enthusiasm for all aspects of in-area and backcountry skiing.
In partnership with Tahoe XC and Atomic, Alpenglow Sports is thrilled to offer this community-oriented nordic race that is welcoming to all disciplines and ability levels. Registration includes a trail pass (required to race), one raffle ticket and a bowl of tasty "Eastern Sierra" flavored chili and cornbread.
