Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe opens Friday for winter season

Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe will be the first Tahoe area resort to kick off the 2024-25 winter season when it opens Friday.

For opening weekend, planned lift operations include the Lakeview Express and the Magic Conveyor from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., offering access to long intermediate level trails on the Main Lodge side of the mountain.

Open trails will include Kit Carson Traverse, Kit Carson Bowl, Ponderosa, and Show-Off. Beginner terrain will be available on Show-Off Run only, and a selection of terrain park features will be offered on Lower Ponderosa.

Skiers and riders should anticipate early season conditions and snowmaking operations in progress. As snowmaking continues and winter weather continues, the resort expects to open more terrain quickly.

All parking will be available at the Main Lodge, and services open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. will include the Lodgepole Cafe, Timbers Bar, Equipment Rental, Tuning Center, Ski & Snowboard School, and 431 Sports.

Instruction will be available for first timer lessons, kids lessons from age 4, as well as private lessons.
