Mt. Rose - Ski Tahoe
From Tahoe's highest base (elevation 8,260'), you're launched nearly 1,800 vertical feet in 3.5 minutes. The reward? Panoramic views of Lake Tahoe and Nevada. The real payoff begins as you descend into 1,200 acres of some of the Sierra's best powder. The recent opening of the Chutes puts us in a whole new league. Find out for yourself about Tahoe's best kept secret.
Mt. Rose is the closest resort to the Reno/Tahoe Intl. Airport, and just 25 minutes from Reno's 17,000 rooms. Mt. Rose is the perfect choice for the first and last day of your Lake Tahoe vacation.
