TDXC Winter Speaker Series

The TDXC Winter Speaker Series continues in March, featuring additional speakers in the realm of Olympic athlete management, environmentalism and search and rescue. Whether you’re a lifelong local, a weekend warrior or simply curious about the mountains that inspire us, these talks are designed to be welcoming, engaging and full of Tahoe stoke and camaraderie.

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 5:15, making it the perfect way to kick off your weekend. Free to attend – everyone welcome.

March Speaker Series Lineup

Friday, March 13:
Restoring Euer Valley
Join Eben Swain Truckee River Watershed Council Project Director of Restoration to Learn more about how, in partnership with Tahoe Donner, our stunning new Coyote Crossing Bridge was built, and what other important, but less obvious work has been going on to repair 150 years of disturbance from grazing and timber harvesting in the Valley. Eban will share stories and some cool photos of how the bridge was built in such a delicate area and in such a short amount of time.

Friday, March 20:
On-Call 24/7/365 – So Others May Live
Being the outdoor adventurers we are, we are lucky to have a talented group of local volunteers who are trained and ready to help us if we ever get hurt or lost out there. Get a glimpse of how searches are coordinated and managed and the local volunteer teams who make it all happen in all conditions in Truckee and throughout Nevada County.
