Tahoe TAP

Welcome back to Tahoe TAP, your go-to podcast for all Things, Adventure & People in Lake Tahoe! Hosts Mike Peron and Rob Galloway are back with another fresh episode, packed with the latest news from around the Tahoe region and an inspiring deep dive into the Tahoe backcountry community.

This week, we’re thrilled to introduce you to Anthony Cupaiuolo, Executive Director of the Tahoe Backcountry Alliance. Anthony is a long-time South Tahoe local, seasoned splitboarder, and passionate advocate for human-powered winter recreation. As the voice for backcountry enthusiasts, he leads the charge on key issues affecting winter access and preservation in the Lake Tahoe area.

Beyond his work with Tahoe Backcountry Alliance, Anthony is also a talented photographer and filmmaker with First Tracks Productions. His projects often focus on public land stewardship and have supported organizations like the National Forest Foundation, Tahoe Area Mountain Biking Association, and Tahoe Rim Trail Association.

Tune in to hear Anthony’s insights on advocacy, his love for the backcountry, and—of course—a little bit about his trail-famous pup, Emmie.
