Mt. Rose

Skiing at Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe We know attitude is everything, but at Mt. Rose altitude is everything. With a base elevation of 8,260', our parking lots are higher than the summits at some other areas, ensuring the best conditions in the basin, even on the warmest spring days.

Carve, bash bumps or simply cruise on nearly 1,000 acres and almost 1,500 vertical feet of bowls, trees and glades. More terrain features for every ability level -- from gentle rollers to extreme parks.

If that's not enough, feast your eyes on expansive views: Lake Tahoe to the west, Nevada's high desert mountains to the east.

Location is everything, too...25 minutes from Reno makes Mt. Rose the closest major resort to an international airport in the world.

So, get out your boards, come up to Mt. Rose (since 1965) and discover a whole new altitude.
