A small Lake Tahoe snowsports shop is raising money for charity with thousands in gear giveaways at its upcoming Speaker Series.
Want to hear from some of the most renowned athletes in winter and mountain sports? Want a chance to win free gear? And best of all, want to do it all for a great cause? Tahoe’s Alpenglow Ski Shop Speaker Series is the place to do all three.
Here’s how it works: Alpenglow Sports’ Winter Speaker Series raises a ton of money for nonprofits by giving away free gear from brands like Jones Snowboards, Arc’teryx, YETI, Voelkl, and more to anyone who watches the Speaker Series show.
This year, the series is a hybrid format: in person at the Palisades Tahoe Resort and streaming live online (it’s free to attend). Here is the schedule and which athletes are slated to speak:
- Dec. 16, 7 p.m.: Elena Hight
- Jan. 6, 7 p.m.: Nick Russell
- Feb. 3, 7 p.m.: Hilaree Nelson
- Feb. 17, 7 p.m.: Conrad Anker and Malik Martin
In its 16th year running, Alpenglow Sports expects the series is will break the $1 million mark raised for charity.
For each event within the series, the brand will donate the proceeds to a different charity organization: Tahoe Institute for Natural Science, SOS Outreach, Sierra Senior Services, the Boys & Girls Club of North Lake Tahoe, and the Gateway Mountain Center.
