Lake Tahoe, NV: Mt. Rose—Ski Tahoe, Lake Tahoe’s closest skiing and snowboarding to Reno, will open its slopes to snow craving enthusiasts this coming Thursday November 13th! Natural snow & snowmaking has produced enough snow to open the Ponderosa Lift serving the Ponderosa Trail bringing a much anticipated opening to Tahoe’s Highest Base Resort.

Our Schedule will be Thursday – Sunday with the lift spinning between 9am – 4pm until more terrain becomes available.

Lift Tickets will be a flat rate $20. Rental equipment will be available but no ski school or Rosebuds Kids Camp. More runs should come online as expected storms and hopefully colder temperatures will exist to assist snowmaking efforts.

Please ski and ride with care as there are marked as well as unmarked obstacles on the available terrain.

Thanks for the heads up weekendsnow from Twitter

I just wanted to share a quick glimpse of Mt Rose before it got swallowed up again by more passing snow bands... winter is so close...

Thunderstorms were pretty non-existent this summer, so last night was the first soaking rain we've had since spring that I can remember. If we would've had a little more cold air, this sucker could've produced well over a foot of snow. Instead, snow levels remained about 9,000 feet and never dropped to the 7,500 that were being advertised.

Regardless, snow is snow.....and it got me excited to go see some of it first hand. I had some errands to run in Reno, so I went the long-way around by driving up the Mt. Rose highway. I pulled over about halfway up for a quick shot across to the southwest corner of Lake Tahoe. In the picture below, you can see Mt. Tallac and the Desolation Wilderness way off in the distance.



So then I continued on up Mt. Rose highway to the pass - the highest year-round, open road in the Sierras at almost 9,000 feet. I finally caught up to some white stuff I could actually touch 'n feel...

When does skiing typically start at Mt. Rose? I'll be there on a business trip last week of October and I am hoping for some skiing action...

Anonymous: If you cross your fingers and do the snow dance maybe we might start seeing resorts open but I really doubt they will be open that early. Usually Boreal is the first followed by Northstar and Squaw.
