Renoentertainment for all

Just 25 minutes from downtown Truckee, Mt. Rose is the closest ski slope to Reno, with 1,200 acres of terrain that includes runs for all levels and a new lodge, the Winters Creek Lodge. A new area, the Chutes, is 200 acres of extremely rugged ski and snowboard terrain with 1,500 feet of vertical, much of it 40-55 degrees. The ski resort itself opens for the ski season, typically November or December through April. But at other times of year, you can drive the Mount Rose highway up and pull over to photograph the stunning views.
