About the TDXC Winter Speaker Series
This January, warm up your evenings at the Alder Creek Adventure Center with a FREE Winter Speaker Series featuring snow sports enthusiasts, athletes and adventure voices you’ll want to hear. Each event offers a different topic, ranging from life on the World Cup circuit and weather forecasting to bucket-list expedition planning and the rich history behind Tahoe Donner Cross Country.

Come connect with fellow community members, ask questions and leave with new inspiration for your own winter adventures. The Alder Creek Cafe + Trailside Bar will be serving happy hour drink specials during each event, with the Après menu available until 5:30, making it the perfect way to kick off your weekend. Free to attend – everyone welcome.
