10K Challenge for Tahoe Backcountry Alliance

Tahoe has some of the best winter recreation in the world, but the backcountry can be hard to access with the challenges of snow removal, parking availability, and limited trailheads. 

The Tahoe Backcountry Alliance (TBA) is tackling all of these issues and more as they work to improve backcountry access for all. As part of their mission, they also offer cross country ski and snowshoe experiences as part of the Washoe Tribe’s Youth Expedition Program, and give people the opportunity to check out sno-park passes and gear for free at libraries throughout El Dorado, Placer and Nevada Counties.

This December, the Tahoe Fund is offering a matching challenge to support TBA, just in time for the holidays. Be among the first 100 people to donate $35 or more before December 31, 2025 to help unlock a $10,000 gift to TBA in honor of their 10th anniversary! 

This will also earn you a membership to TBA, corresponding to your gift level. Memberships tiers are $35, $150, or $500, and offer the following benefits: 

• Join the growing community of backcountry users to help advocate for better access to Tahoe’s backcountry terrain. 
• Every TBA member gets a 3-month free trial with onX and if you dig it, 20% off their annual membership. 
• Everyone at the $150 level and up gets an exclusive Flylow/TBA collab hat. Able to pony up $500 and become a core member? They’ve got TBA glass tumblers, a hat and beanie for you.

You can check out the details here, but be sure to donate through the Tahoe Fund website (via the button below) for your contribution to count towards the matching challenge.
