Keep Sierra Clean Day

Sierra-at-Tahoe’s Keep Sierra Clean Day is BACK for its 15th year! And this year we are going extra GREEN. While staying true to our roots we will also be planting new ones. Keep Sierra Clean Day 2023 will be an opportunity to give the beloved mountain the refresh she needs by collecting trash + treasures of years past, as well as the chance to replant an all-new piece of Sierra-at-Tahoe. Hike areas of the mountain to clean up the grounds + participate in reforesting select areas with seedlings provided by the El Dorado RCD + the Sugar Pine Foundation . 

In order to concentrate on reforesting certain areas of the mountain first + to maximize our time on the hill, this year will be a HIKE ONLY EVENT with focus on the base area, the parking lots + the entrance to West Bowl. There will be no lift access, so get those winter legs ready to explore on foot.  
 
This is a FREE  family-friendly event with lunch provided, live music + more! Don’t forget the always all-around good vibes!
