Alibi Ale Works – Truckee Public House 10069 Bridge St Truckee, CA96161 United States
Ready to take your backcountry knowledge to the next level? The Beta is the second session in the free Avalanche Education Series hosted by Tahoe Mountain Sports and Alibi Ale Works, focusing on how to read terrain, understand conditions, and make smarter decisions in the backcountry.
This session covers the building blocks of decision-making—how to assess zones based on weather and snowpack, identify natural warning signs, and recognize common terrain traps. You’ll also learn key logistics such as skin track etiquette, safe parking, and how to be a good steward of Truckee-Tahoe’s backcountry community.
Speakers include:
Richard Bothwell, Author of Light Tours of Tahoe by Beacon Guidebooks
Alex Michon, Guide for AlpenGlow Expeditions
Anthony Cupaiuolo, Tahoe Backcountry Alliance
