Sierra-at-Tahoe is hosting the 9th annual Keep Sierra Clean Day on Oct. 11.

All members of the community are invited to ride up the Nob Hill chairlift, sweep the mountain of trash and enjoy live music and free lunch on the Solstice Plaza.

In past years, thousands of pounds of trash has been cleared from the summer slopes by pass holders, employees along, and community groups such as the Sierra Education Foundation, Boy Scouts and West Slope high school ski and snowboard teams.

Sierra-at-Tahoe has been awarded numerous accolades for excellence in environmental education and community-based activism. Programs such as Keep Sierra Clean Day, Pack It In, Pack It Out and up-front parking for hybrids during the season are implemented under Project: Green Sierra.

Event registration begins at 10am on the Solstice Plaza. Participants are recommended to bring gloves, trash bags will be provided.
