Late Season Storm Brings Welcome Conditions Refresh to Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe
02/April/2026
The winter season is far from over at Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe following a late season strom that brought 21 inches of fresh snow to the mountain this week, and cold temperatures that have allowed the resort to fire up its snowmaking system. The conditions reboot has guaranteed Tahoe’s best coverage and spring skiing conditions are at Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe -- the top of Tahoe -- thanks to the resort’s base elevation of 8,260’.
With almost two feet of fresh snow and the return of cold temperatures, the resort is currently making snow, with the snow machines layering on additional firepower to reboot winter conditions for the best spring season
“We’re always glad to welcome winter back, and this latest round of snow has ensured there are still great turns to be had as our spring season continues,” said Mike Pierce, Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe Marketing Director. “Late season powder days are a bonus, and with the spring events and deals we have planned, it’s not too late to get up here for some great skiing and riding!”
