Join us at the Alpenglow Winter Speaker Series on February 9, 2023!

Sierra Senior Services has been chosen as the Non-Profit beneficiary for the February 9 Alpenglow Sports Winter Speaker Series presentation by Anna Pfaff. The Alpenglow Winter Speaker Series is an eagerly anticipated winter tradition for North Tahoe’s adventure community. With over 4,000 attendees annually, the 17-year-old event has become one of the premier North American forums for adventure storytelling.

The Alpenglow Winter Speaker Series blends two goals: 1) to inspire and motivate mountain athletes to pursue their own outdoor dreams and 2) to educate about, and raise funds for, non-profit organizations making a tangible difference in the North Lake Tahoe and Truckee community. The Winter Speaker Series is the largest free community speaker series in the country that hosts the biggest names in the outdoor industry.

One of the world’s premiere alpinists, Anna Pfaff,  will present “Life’s Newest Crux” on February 9. She has climbed in some of the most remote alpine terrain in the world, including multiple expeditions to the Karakorum Range of Pakistan, Tibetan Himalaya, Nepal and India, the Tian Shan of Kyrgyzstan, the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy in Colombia, and the Peruvian, Bolivian, the Patagonian Andes and Antarctica.

In April of 2022, Anna Pfaff and climbing partner Priti Wright successfully climbed the Alaskan giant Mt. Huntington. Upon arriving back in basecamp, Pfaff was struck with aggressive frostbite on both feet, which ultimately led to the loss of six toes. Pfaff’s show “Life’s New Crux” will document her journey throughout the process and how she is working hard to return to the mountains. Alpine adventures around the world have shaped Pfaff, and now she is using these lessons to help her overcome a new crux in life.

Dinner will be available from our friends at MOGROG Rotisserie. 15% of all food sales will go to benefit Sierra Senior Services.

Sierra Senior Services will be the non-profit beneficiary for all concession and give-away ticket sales on Thursday, February 9. The presentation begins at 7 pm at the Olympic Valley Lodge at Palisades Tahoe and is entirely FREE.
