Tahoe City’s Alpenglow Mountain Festival runs from February 20 through February 28th. Unlike the last few years, there will be snow, allowing the event to live up to it’s amazing potential.
The festival is a celebration of human powered winter activities. Most of the events are free, and bring the expertise of some of Tahoe’s best athletes to those who always wanted to try a new winter sport. Backcountry skiing, classic cross-country and skate skiing, snowshoeing and fat biking are all covered.
