Mount Rose has only one flaw, and that flaw affects all the resorts at Lake Tahoe: wind. The snow and skiing/snowboarding is phenomenal, I tend to prefer the east bowl however, less people, better powder, and advanced runs. You can get a season's pass to Mt. Rose for $200--not kidding. Rose is truly a fun place to go and ski for cheap--without sacrificing any of the amenities.
- Pros: Good Parking, Inexpensive, Fun people
- Cons: Windy
The Details on Mount Rose
The Extras:
Mount Rose is only a stone's throw away from downtown Reno, self-proclaimed "Biggest Little City in the World." Hotels, casinos and restaurants abound.
Parking:
Parking can be a problem. If you stay in Reno, take a shuttle to the mountain. Call (800) 822-6009 for reservations.
Know Before You Go:
There's good beginner terrain from the two lower chairlifts at Rose, but none in the East Bowl. The ski season varies, so call ahead before planning a late- or early-season trip.
