January 6: Mike Schwartz
A fun, informative, and inspiring slide show on the better ski touring adventures in our own backyard. Mike takes plenty of pictures of his exploits up high in the Sierras and beyond. The emphasis of this show is non technical ski mountaineering objectives, some classic and some just winging it. Stuff most of you can do with just a little beta and a lot of enthusiasm.

Scratching the Void: A Humorous Look at the Vertical World
In the mountaineering world you can always count on uncertainty and full value. The same can be said of Tahoe local climber, adventurer and host of RSN TV Todd Offenbacher, who will, in his unique and humorous way, attempt to explain alpine mysteries such as how to get the rope to the top of an unclimbed peak, how to go #2 in a vertical world and the amazing power of laughter and a smile in the mountains. This promises to be a great evening to enjoy a cocktail and hire a babysitter!

This will be a unique evening of tag teaming a collection of captivating stories, beautiful images and hot scoops where, like many great adventures, the show will unfold as it it goes along.

White Water Kayaking: The Middle Fork of the Kings Expedition 2009
Kayakers come from all over the world to run the impressive rivers of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range. The Middle Fork of the Kings River is a 6 day class V run that starts with a grueling 12 mile hike over the crest of the Sierra at Bishop Pass. What follows is 35 miles of intense white water, scouting, portaging, rescue, boat repair, waterfalls and whatever else mother nature can throw at you. The amazing scenery and steep rapids lend to a perfect setting for an incredible trip and is shared with image and story.

The Sierra Nevada: Seeking the heart and soul of climbing
We are pleased to welcome Peter Croft back to Tahoe for an all new presentation that highlights the reasons why he first came to the "Range of Light" and how this turned into a long term climbing love affair with high granite peaks and the diverse climbing along the eastern Sierra. His show will feature a short film about his first ascent of "Solar Flare" 5.12 on the Incredible Hulk with celebrated alpinist Conrad Anker a couple of years ago.

February 10: Dave Nettle
