After opening for multiple weekends, Mt. Rose ski resort announced that it will begin daily operations for skiing and snowboarding, starting Friday, Nov. 16.
Located 25 minutes from Reno and within a convenient distance to North Lake Tahoe, Mt. Rose began snowmaking early and was the first Lake Tahoe resort to open this season – Oct. 19.
For the start of daily operations Friday, Mt. Rose will have five beginner trails open with snow depths of 12-18 inches. Open trails and a terrain park with six features can be accessed by the Wizard chairlift and Magic dual conveyor covered surface lift.
Lift tickets are $59 for adults (ages 16-over) and $29 for children (ages 6-15) until more terrain is opened.
“Our team has been putting the investments we’ve made to our expanded snowmaking system to work and are opening terrain as quickly as possible,” said Mike Pierce, director of marketing at Mt. Rose. “As temperatures permit, we’ll continue making snow every chance we have until Mother Nature lends a hand, which looks like it could be as soon as Thanksgiving weekend.”
According to weather forecasters at OpenSnow, the Lake Tahoe area could see the first storms of the winter season as soon as Thanksgiving weekend.
In addition to open trails and lifts, the Main Lodge at Mt. Rose will also be open, offering access to the Lodgepole Café and Timbers Bar. Beginning Saturday, the equipment rentals, repair and ski lessons will also be available.
Mt. Rose offers a variety of season pass options, ranging from $199-$649. The resort has Lake Tahoe’s highest base elevation at 8,260 feet. Mt Rose features 1,200 acres with ample variety of runs for every level of skier & snowboarder.
