Alpenglow 20K
February 23rd | 10:00am
The snow may have thinned where the sun shines brightest, but we still have plenty of kilometers of trail to put together a fantastic race for this Sunday's Alpenglow 20k.

This fun, freestyle race is historically one of the most scenic Nordic races in the west. Three distances (20km, 10km, 5km) will challenge your peak season fitness. Even if you’ve never tried Nordic racing, one of the shorter distances is a perfect starter course.

We're still looking for volunteers to help make this annual fundraising event for Tahoe XC Youth Programs a success. Please email ski@TahoeXC.org if you can help with registration, timing, stadium setup, stadium cleanup, or course marshal.
The Great Ski Race
March 1st | 9:00am
This week, TNSAR announced a weather-adjusted plan for The Great Ski Race. In case you missed it, here's what they said:

Dear Great Ski Race racer, 

We’re announcing a weather-adjusted plan for The Great Ski Race — the main fundraising event for the all-volunteer Tahoe Nordic Search and Rescue Team.

With a storm-less January and a forecast of dry weather for the next two weeks, the Truckee end of the original course is not skiable. But fear not! We plan to bring you a never-before-raced 26K course around Mt. Watson that returns to Tahoe XC for the usual finish line party celebration.

This completely new course has lots of varied terrain and great vistas, not to mention the usual challenges our skiers sign up for (one of them being the notoriously wildcard race-day weather). Soon we will publish the new course GPS map and elevation profile on our website,  thegreatskirace.com .

Because of the plan change, the entrance fee will stay at $80 until Thursday, Feb. 27 . We are excited to see you test this unique course. Thanks very much for supporting TNSAR as you have through the years.

See you Sunday, March 1, 9 a.m. sharp!
