We went two weeks ago. There was snow but not a lot. It was the only place in Lake Tahoe to have snow. It was powdery regardless and still lots of fun! Very small park section. Will definitely improve through season! I know they’ve gotten over a foot of snow since I’ve been there!

Parking is a bit confusing but the views are incredible. Mt.Rose offers half day passes too, which makes it more affordable than other resorts in the area that only have full day passes no matter when you purchase. The lifts have automatic gates to course people out, which is great. One of my favorite local resorts in the area.

Great local resort with some of the best conditions. Not protected from wind during storms. On the smaller side in terms of skiable area but the lifts are efficient and generally not too busy so you can get lots of skiing done. Two bars with good variety of beers on tap, standard cafeteria food. There are some views of Lake Tahoe and a cool view of most of Reno.
