LAKE TAHOE

Backcountry access in Lake Tahoe received a huge boost thanks to community members participating in the Tahoe Fund’s $10K for TBA matching challenge. The nonprofit organization announced that more than 100 people donated to support the Tahoe Backcountry Alliance (TBA), unlocking a $10,000 gift from the Tahoe Fund and raising over $26,000 to help TBA improve backcountry access for all. 

For over a decade, the Tahoe Backcountry Alliance has been tackling backcountry access issues like parking availability, snow removal, and limited trailheads. As part of its mission, the alliance also offers cross-country ski and snowshoe experiences as part of the Washoe Tribe’s Youth Expedition Program, and provides opportunities to borrow sno-park passes and gear for free at libraries throughout El Dorado, Placer, and Nevada Counties.

TBA memberships are always available at tahoebackcountryalliance.org/membership.
