Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe is a favorite resort for many locals and visitors to the Reno-Tahoe area. This winter, work will begin to upgrade some of the ski terrain of the mountain and introduce a brand-new high-speed chairlift.

The Lakeview area of the mountain will be expanding to include new terrain and the project is estimated to cost around $7.5 million, with expected completion ahead of the 2022 – 23 winter season.

“For 41 years, the Lakeview triple has provided access to incredible skiing and riding and expansive views of Lake Tahoe. Last season, strong ridership combined with COVID-19 related chairlift restrictions proved it necessary to increase Lakeview’s lift capacity,” said Mike Pierce, Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe marketing director. “When

There’s a chill (and a new woodsy aroma) in the air, the leaves are changing, the supermarket is packed with pumpkin spice-flavored products, and Halloween decorations are popping up everywhere. That's right: Fall is in full force. So why not make the most of that perfect temperate weather and the festive spirit? There's no shortage of fun fall activities to try—both indoors and outdoors. We have all of our favorite September and October events listed below. We hope you enjoy welcoming the turn of a new season with a little festive fall fun!

The wildest, richest rodeo in the west returned last week after a one-year absence: the Reno Rodeo! Kicking off its competition schedule on Thursday, June 17 with their traditional Xtreme Bulls event, it marked the first of Northern Nevada’s major events to make a full return following last year’s shutdowns due the pandemic.

The rodeo has had its full schedule of events as well as no spectator restrictions on attendance, with ten full days of competition and special events. Events will wrap up with finals on June 26 at the Outdoor Arena at the Livestock Events Center.

“The Reno Rodeo has been around for a long time and it’s been an important part of the fabric of our community, not only because of the economic impact to our region, but

Reno Ice opened earlier this year as the area’s first and only NHL-regulation sized ice rink and we are so excited to cool off on the ice this summer!

The long-awaited ice rink located at 15500 Wedge Parkway had been under construction for most of 2020, and the opening date was originally slated for late November. However, due to COVID-19, the completion of the facility was extended into January 2021.

"A group of local business professionals who had been traveling to South Tahoe from Reno on a weekly basis to play in a men’s league recognized the need for a rink in Reno, which is the largest winter sports demographic area without an ice arena," said Joel Grace, president of Reno Ice’s Board of Directors. "With the support of a local, lead donor,

Conveniently located between Reno and Lake Tahoe, Montrêux is a private, 726-acre golf course community with approximately 550 luxury home sites.
