Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe ski resort has the highest base elevation of any ski resort around Lake Tahoe and is the closest ski resort to Reno. In about half an hour, you can be on the slopes at Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe, enjoying fantastic views of Sierra Nevada peaks, Washoe Valley, and the Lake Tahoe Basin. Varied terrain, reasonable lift ticket prices, close proximity to Reno, and a magnificent setting make Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe one of our most attractive ski areas.
