On Dec. 8, Alpenglow Sports welcomes snowboarding icon, environmental advocate, entrepreneur and author Jeremy Jones to kick off the 17th annual Winter Speaker Series. Five times per winter, an outdoor athlete presents an inspirational tale of adventure, creating a forum for motivation and inspiration.
Following Jones, the 2022-23 season is stacked with a lineup of awe-inspiring athletes: Adrian Ballinger on Jan. 5, Brette Harrington on Jan. 19, Anna Pfaff on Feb. 9 and Dave Nettle on March 2. Each show will be presented in-person and online in a virtual capacity on Alpenglow’s YouTube channel.
Giveaway and bar proceeds, in conjunction with anonymous donations by the Donor Party, traditionally raise more than $75,000 per show for North Lake Tahoe nonprofit organizations. For the 2022-23 series, the five nonprofit beneficiaries are Slow Food Lake Tahoe, SOS Outreach, Send It Foundation, Sierra Senior Services and Gateway Mountain Center, respectively.
The events will take place at Olympic Valley Lodge, in Olympic Valley. Tahoe Weekly is a sponsor of the series. | alpenglowsports.com
