Come to the Alpine side on January 6 for all things alpine touring, telemark and splitboarding
Olympic Valley, Calif. [December 18, 2023]— Alpenglow Sports is hosting the Annual Lake Tahoe Backcountry Demo Event, 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.
“Back Country is expensive and lasts forever – we want people to get their dream set up out of
the gate and just enjoy being in the wilderness with gear they know and trust,” says Brendan
Madigan with Alpenglow Sports.
The event is free, although guests need a valid lift ticket or Ikon pass to test the equipment. Demos begin at 9 a.m. with around 30 different vendors allowing guests to test the downhill performance of gear before trying other equipment. Participating companies include DPS Skis, Dynafit, Black Diamond Equipment, Tecnica, Blizzard, Lange, Black Crows, Marker, Volkl, Elan, Roxa, Atomic, Scarpa, and Fischer.
