TAHOE CITY, Calif.— Alpenglow Sports is excited to announce the return of Mountainfilm on Tour to north Lake Tahoe on Friday and Saturday, November 10-11th, 2023 as an exciting and unprecedented two-nights of inspirational, social, cultural, environmental and adventure film programming.

This event is made possible by Peak Design. 

Each year, the staff at Alpenglow Spots curates a selection of culturally rich, adventure-packed, and incredibly inspiring documentary films curated from the Mountainfilm Festival in Telluride, Colorado. Mountainfilm on Tour takes some of the best films from the festival on the road to share the sentiment of changing the world through visual storytelling with the rest of America.

The intimate, in-store experience is limited to 60 attendees and will showcase an inspiring program with a focus on nonfiction stories about the environmental, cultural, climbing, political and social justice issues facing the world today. These films will showcase how life is not only endless powder and picturesque peaks.

The goal of the first night of Mountainfilm on Tour aims to highlight very real cultural, social and environmental issues from a diverse set of perspectives and backgrounds. The intimate and emotionally moving evening intends to build a stronger community by inspiring discussion and fostering unity.

At the conclusion of Friday’s programming, Alpenglow will welcome Mr. Chuck Dickerson from the Inner City Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles. 

The inspiration for one of the evening features, The Orchestra that Chuck Built, Mr. Dickerson will be joined by a string quartet of ICYOLA students for a live performance that is not to be missed. 

Food from MOGROG Rotisserie will be provided with a $25 ticket purchase, doors open at 5:30 p.m. and films begin at 7 p.m. The event is family friendly and all members of the family are encouraged to attend.
