The Winters Creek Lodge overlooks the Reno-Carson valley.
Last week I decided to avoid the President’s Week crowds at the big resorts and drove up to Mt. Rose, located 11 miles above Incline Village. I was pleasantly surprised from the moment I arrived. While other resorts were charging premium holiday lift prices, Mt. Rose was offering their 2 ‘fer Tuesdays deal, making my lift ticket $35. For those who came solo, Mt. Rose ambassadors matched them up with other singles to take advantage of the special.
The Big Bonanza and Central Pacific runs off the Blazing Zephyr 6 chair.
At 8,260 ft, Mt. Rose has the highest base elevation in Tahoe with an average snowfall of 350″. The resorts 1,200 acres offers a wonderful variety of runs for all ski levels.
As I worked my may around the mountain, it quickly became my new favorite resort. Mt. Rose offers fast lifts, stunning views, and some of the best variety of terrain in Tahoe.

For beginners, a large area is located next to the main lodge offering 10 different runs, including the Wild Horses Adventure Trails.
Intermediate and Advance skiers and boarders will not be disappointed by the variety on terrain, and for the no-fear crowd, try The Chutes.
