Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe Resort is located in: Reno, NV
Phone: 1-800-Ski-Rose
Website: http://www.mtrose.com/
About the Resort:
This is a very well known resort that is just a little over the border from California and it has become a very popular destination for many travelers. If you're serious about skiing, this is a great place to go, and it is also very family friendly. It is centrally located near hotels, a military base and the airport and is one of the easiest resorts to access in this area.
What You Need to Know:
The resort is open from 8am to 6pm every day during the season and even though this is a popular resort, they don't have a problem with overcrowding. There are a total of eight lifts, but they are so fast that you generally do not end up having to wait around for very long. In fact, one of the lifts will rocket you 1800 feet in a little under 4 minutes.
With more than 60 trails, a slide bowl and plenty of chutes, this is a great place to go if you like the thrill of skiing hard and fast. They keep the trails very well groomed and they do make snow if the season is a little dry, or if the trails are a little sparse.
Tips for Beginners:
About 20% of their trails are dedicated to beginners and they offer lessons throughout the day. Private lessons are offered, as well as special group lessons and a school for kids. The instructors here are very good and will give you a great background with some solid techniques.
There are also special lesson packages if you'll be staying for more than a weekend that offer a great deal and help you get a real feel for how to ski. This is also a good place to learn how to snowboard and we found that the facility was very friendly to boarders.

My wife has been trying to drag me to Tahoe for some time. I’m still learning and fear that it might be a bit professional for me. It’s good to know that they offer beginner’s lessons.
