Alpenglow Demo Day
This annual event is North America’s largest venue for all things alpine touring, telemark, & splitboard!
A community-oriented leader in the backcountry industry for 30-plus years, Alpenglow Sports has worked hard to foster the largest, and most well-known backcountry demo event in North America. The event is held annually at Palisades Tahoe Alpine, a destination known for popular hikes, 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.
Demos begin at 9am each day and items can only be used for 3-4 runs at a time so that everyone gets a fair chance to try equipment equally. All demos must be returned by no later than 2:00pm or will be subject to a $150 late penalty. Please note that this a DEMO, not a RENTAL and is designed to test DOWNHILL performance of backcountry equipment. If you are intrigued by backcountry skiing/riding, we suggest you reach out to a local guide/education outfit like Alpenglow Expeditions, but our event isn't designed to let you "try out" the sport. Our weekend is more of a "test drive" type opportunity so that you get your purchase right. Lastly, please make sure to bring your own poles as we do not provide any.
