Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe Opens For Skiing And Snowboarding

Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe announced it opened Friday and Saturday, October 27 and 28, 2017 for skiing and snowboarding. The resort is to open in the Lake Tahoe area for a fall tease ahead of the 2017-18 winter season, Mt. Rose offered access to one beginner ski trail accessed by the Wizard chairlift from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. both days.

“At 8,260’, Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe has the highest base area elevation at Lake Tahoe, so cold early season overnight temperatures have allowed our snowmaking team to work their magic over the last week,” said Mike Pierce, director of marketing for Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe. “We were able to maximize the efficiency of our snowmaking system and stockpile enough snow to provide our guests with access to one trail so they can get back on their skis and snowboards. As conditions permit, and with Mother Nature’s help, we will continue to make snow and open more terrain and really get the season underway in the coming weeks.”

The Lodgepole Café and Timbers Bar was open from 7:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Equipment rentals and ski lessons were  offered; however, guests were  able to pick-up season leases and purchase season passes.

Following last season’s six-month winter season, Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe will aim for that goal again this year, and after this weekend, will resume lift operations and open additional terrain as weather and conditions permit.
