Alpenglow Sports and Tahoe Cross Country will host the Alpenglow 20K in lieu of the cancellation of the Great Ski Race. The goal is to provide enthusiastic and hungry nordic skiers an outlet in what has been a meager winter to date, and then celebrate with Tahoe Nordic Search and Rescue at their Great Ski Race cancellation party.

Thanks to its single loop nature and stunning lake views, this race is one of the most scenic and iconic cross-country races in the western United States. Distance options include 20k, 10k, and 2k options so that every level of skier is encouraged and welcomed to attend.
