I'm presenting a show this Sunday to benefit Tahoe Trails at Blue Angel in South Lake Tahoe.

Even if you can't make the show, you can support Tahoe Trails and pick up great deals on outdoor gear at our eBay auction >> here


Every $1 raised will build one foot of trail at Fallen Leaf Lake and Angora Ridge. I will show videos from some of the very first wingsuit BASE jumps off major cliffs around the world (and the 80+ El Capitan climbing ascents that led to them).

Here is a taste: https://goo.gl/oBtlpM

Tickets are $25 and 100 percent of the money goes to the Tahoe Area Mountain Biking Association to build trails. Buy tickets here: https://goo.gl/ldrNhn We’re limited to 120 tickets, so get them before they’re gone.

Our goal for the night is to raise $10K!

HOW?

1 - OutdoorGearLab is donating a ton of gear. There will be a raffle (everyone will receive one ticket, and you will have the opportunity to buy more at the event)
2 - A silent auction with skis, snowboards, electric skateboards, jackets and much more all starting at 70 percent off retail.
3 - An online auction here: http://stores.ebay.com/outdoorgearlabstore/

This is part of Ski Run Presents: A new speaker series that Corey Rich and I created. Last month we had Tommy Caldwell speak and raised over $3500 for the ASCA

Also, money raised from this event will go toward projects that help build an MTB trail around Lake Tahoe. If anyone wants more details on that, let me know!

We accidentally raised $30k. so now it looks like we might be able to expand the trail project. Psyched!
