Mount Rose Ski Tahoe

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 30 mi south-southwest of Reno, in the Carson Range. It has the highest base elevation of a Tahoe-region ski area, at about 8260 ft and the summit is 9700 ft. The resort area is 1200 acre 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 71.62507926997716 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. Later renamed to the "Slide Mountain Ski Area", it operated side-by-side with the "Mount Rose Ski Area", which opened in 1964 on the mountain's north side; the two areas merged in 1987.

December 2004 saw the opening of The Chutes at Mount Rose, which offer some of the steepest, consistent terrain in all of Tahoe.

In 2018, the Buser family (majority shareholders since 1972) decided to keep the resort, after having it on the market.
