On Feb. 4 at 6pm Squaw Valley, Dynafit, and Alpenglow Sports will host California’s first Nachtspektakel ski touring event.

A Nachtspektakel (say-knocked-shpeck-tockle) is a traditional European-style ski event that bonds people through the sport of ski touring. A cultural norm in Europe, Nachtspektakel are new ways to combine skiing, beer and food that are sure to catch on in the States.

Ski tourers are invited on an ascent to Squaw Valley’s High Camp, followed by food and drink.

Tickets are $40 per person, cash only, and can be picked up at Alpenglow Sports in Tahoe City.

Come appropriately dressed with uphill gear, skis, skins, boots, poles and a headlamp. Bring warm clothes, and perhaps a change of clothes for drinks/dinner.

Beacons shovels probes not required but recommended. Alpenglow Sports will offer free rentals for the evening. Rentals must be picked up the afternoon before the event.
