Mt. Rose

Mount Rose Ski Tahoe is a ski resort in the western United States, in the Sierra Nevada mountains near Reno, Nevada. The closest resort to the city, it is located about thirty miles south-southwest of Reno, in the Carson Range. It has the highest base elevation of a Tahoe-region ski area, at about 8,260 ft and the summit is 9,700 ft. The resort area is 1,200 acres and is located in Toiyabe National Forest.Despite the name, the resort is actually on the slopes of Slide Mountain rather than Mount Rose, which is on the other side of Nevada State Route 431.

It opened 71 years ago in 1953 as the "Reno Ski Bowl" on the east face of Slide Mountain. The inaugural NCAA Skiing Championships were held there in March 1954, hosted by the University of Nevada, with the downhill won by Wolf Pack senior Pat Meyers.
