Location

Just 25 minutes from Reno and 30 minutes from North Lake Tahoe, Mt Rose offers unmatched accessibility. The resort's location on the Mt Rose Highway (Nevada SR 431) means you can easily drive up from Reno's international airport or make it your base for exploring the entire Tahoe region. The high-altitude setting provides stunning panoramic views of both the desert and Lake Tahoe, creating a unique skiing experience where you can potentially surf waves in the morning and ski powder in the afternoon.

Season Info

Thanks to its elevation and northern exposure, Mt Rose typically enjoys one of the longest seasons in the Tahoe region. The winter season usually runs from late October through April, with annual snowfall averaging 350 inches. When storms roll in from the Pacific, Mt Rose's unique position often means deeper powder than neighboring resorts. Spring brings perfect corn snow conditions and stellar views of both Lake Tahoe and Reno.
