11th annual Lake Tahoe Adventure Slide Show Series sponsored by your friends at The BackCountry
This event is held every once a month at Palisades Tahoe Olympic Plaza Bar located above Dave's Deli, at the bottom of the mountain. Palisades Tahoe is 9 miles south of Truckee, and 5 miles north of Tahoe City. The Olympic Plaza is not part of the "Village" in the parking lot, but rather the older building closest to the snow.
No Host Bar, children are welcome.
The 10/11 season offers 10 incredible shows, from some seriously adventurous people. Most of them are from our very own Sierras, if not Tahoe itself. Come meet your neighbors! They want to spread that good mountain vibe, and get us all stoked on life. Many of these shows are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to meet and hear from incredible mountain loving athletes and travelers.
Shows start right at 8pm this year and usually last one hour. Arrive early for a seat. There is comfortable seating for about 200, and pretty good standing room for another 100. Most shows fill the room completely by 8:10 and the show has started.
Brought to you by your local outdoor gear shop, The Back Country!
