Rose is usually the first to open due to its area-high base elevation of 8,260 feet.

Last year we had a weaker snow season overall in the greater Reno-Tahoe area, but Mt. Rose still had 324 inches of snow which allowed its skiers to carve and glide down its 1,200 acres from October to the end of April. During the

The many different colors and the crisp, clear air pair perfectly with the clear blues of Lake Tahoe’s waters (and of course a snack).

In just two weeks, one of Lake Tahoe’s greatest secrets will be unveiled.

Denise Jaffe is the associate state archaeologist who headed up the project and a scuba diver who helped develop it.
