ABOUT THIS EVENT

BROUGHT TO YOU BY ALPENGLOW SPORTS

Ingrid Backstrom, an extreme skier of international fame, will present at the fourth show of the 2020/21 Alpenglow Sports Winter Speaker Series on Thursday, February 4th. Backstrom, who established herself in Matchstick Production’s 2004 Yearbook, was the only female to be featured as one of Powder Magazine’s Future Big Mountain Heroes in 2002. She has also won the prestigious awards for performances in ski films including “Best Female Performance” and “Breakthrough Performance” at the 2005 Powder Magazine Video Awards. Backstrom resides in Washington with her husband and young daughter and her show “Little Big Mountain Skiing” will depict a few of her best trips and ski lines, followed by the transition of a continuing ski career while becoming a mother.

With over 4,000 attendees annually, the 15-year-old Alpenglow Winter Speaker Series (WSS) has become the premier North American forum for adventure storytelling. Five times per winter, a premier outdoor athlete presents an inspirational tale of adventure, creating a forum for motivation and inspiration. Every show is free. Giveaways, in conjunction with anonymous donations, currently raise more than $50,000 per show for local non-profit organizations. To date, WSS has raised over $500,000, making a tangible difference in North Lake Tahoe and beyond.

FOR THOSE THAT CAN'T MAKE THE LIVE EVENT: If you can't make the live program at 7pm PDT, you can still join the adventure - but you need to register now!  We'll make the link viewable for everyone that registers, regardless of when you view it.

“I’m a professional skier, new mom, and amateur but enthusiastic cook, mountain biker, trail runner, and berry picker, among other things.  I love adventures of any kind, but mainly the ones where you leave out the backdoor or up the street with a pair of shoes or some skis and a daypack.  In other words, I like things that are simple and straightforward with a challenge.  In twelve years of skiing professionally I've had the good fortune to travel around the world and visit lots of places, and I've learned that I enjoy connecting and sharing stories with other people who also love mountains and mountain activities.  I like regular, normal food that's fun and delicious, and usually the kind where I can make it last minute. 

I live in Central Washington with my husband, Jim, our daughter, Betty, and our rascally miniature Australian Shepherd, Buddy.” - Ingrid
