- **Event Name**: Lake Tahoe Backcountry Demo Event
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 09:00 am
- **Event Description**: On Saturday, February 28th, Alpenglow Sports will host their 20th annual Lake Tahoe Backcountry Demo Event at Palisades Tahoe (Alpine Meadows) from 9am to 2:30pm. This is the largest consumer backcountry event in North America where participants will have the opportunity to test over thirty different brands of backcountry ski, splitboard, and telemark equipment. With a new date in late February, the Lake Tahoe Backcountry Demo Event is the perfect chance to try both current touring equipment, plus all the new gear that will hit shelves next fall. This special, sneak peak opportunity will allow participants to enjoy winter 2026 equipment before anyone else. AND, for the first time, there will be downhill equipment available to demo as well! 

The Lake Tahoe Backcountry Demo is for anyone interested in backcountry or downhill equipment, whether they are seeking to add to an existing quiver or taking the plunge on a first setup.  In their search for new equipment, attendees will have the chance to interact with and learn from Alpenglow staff, as well as leading brand representatives from industry leaders DPS Skis, 4FRNT, Black Crows, Dynafit, ATK, Jones, and more.  Additionally, there will be discounts on current (up to 25%), and incoming equipment (up to 10%) for all participants of the event. 

Demo opportunities begin at 9am on 2/28/26 and run until 2:30pm, with participants encouraged to return equipment after 2-3 runs in fairness to the large turnout the event experiences each year. Participants can save themselves time on the morning of the event by registering ahead of time here, although morning-of registration is also provided.  

Alpine touring boots, bindings, skis, and splitboards will be available, as will telemark equipment, although the latter will primarily consist of NTN (new telemark norm) versus traditional 75-mm gear. Pre-registered or not, the shop asks that all participants come prepared with their desired DIN setting, but this too can be calculated onsite. Please note that poles are NOT provided at the event.

All participants will be required to have a valid driver’s license and credit card, which will be left at the Alpenglow Sports registration tent as an acting deposit. These are returned as each participant has had their fill of demo opportunities, and equipment has been returned in an undamaged fashion.

The event itself is FREE to all participants who possess a valid lift ticket or season pass purchased from Palisades Tahoe, and parking reservation. As there are no “uphill” opportunities currently available at Palisades Tahoe, equipment will only be available for “downhill” testing. 

Please note that should there be an adverse weather event on 2/28/26 that prevents the demo from occurring, a weather backup date is scheduled for the following day (Sunday) on 3/1/26.
