Fri
The TERC research vessel is out on the lake all year, and while that may sound fun, some days it's a bit rough. Learn how are team navigates, dives, and samples in the field each day during the height of the freezing winter. Boat Captain Mike Cane will walk participants through the process of monitoring water quality in Lake Tahoe from zooplankton samples to clarity measurements.
About the Tour
Join TERC scientists for a fun, interactive on-the-mountain tour at Alpine in partnership with the US Forest Service. Do you love to ski/snowboard and science? This is a unique opportunity for you! Learn about the research and education of the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center (TERC), the environmental history of Alpine, and the role of the US Forest Service and public lands at Palisades Tahoe.
All tours are free, but participants must be riding/skiing at an intermediate level and comfortable on all blue terrain. Tours are limited to the first 15 participants, please sign-up in person at the TERC outreach table on Fridays for the day-of tour.
Details:

- Open to intermediate skiers and snowboarders.
