And I believe the only way to ski school is the tram. Or do they do that at that tiny little lift on the way in?

Depends on the level. They gather by the funi, but the ways they get up the mountain is varied because they go in all different directions. Not sure what the Squaw Kids do.

Mt. Rose's signage already is talking about masks.

Snow making temps are back!

At the bottom and at the top! Mt. Rose.

Does Mt. Rose have an opening day announced?
They usually try for a late October pass-holders-only WROD right?

No, they will not be opening until they can open from top to bottom.

No, they will not be opening until they can open from top to bottom.

So... Feb?



I kid, I kid.

Sounds like Diamond Peak

No, that's when they close for the season.

It did look like Rose has light coverage from the top down Kit Carson. That's from a distance and through rose colored goggles.

Fingers crossed for Thanksgiving skiing at Rose

No, a lot of the beginner terrain is at High Camp, but they do have a carpet and small chair (its where we skied opening day a couple years ago) for a beginner area.

Mask policy
When we came back from hiking Tamarack trail across from Mt Rose yesterday we stopped at Slide Side to see if there was any action.
This is what the digital sign says.

That would seem to have the tacit option of riding with others. It doesn't say you can ONLY ride alone or with your group.

Total guess here... but maybe they're planning to have it be one person on each end of the quad, whether in the same group or not... then you can ask to ride alone, or with more than one other person if it's just your group. That would make the sign make sense. (Assuming that's a quad or larger lift.)

Yeah. I am a little surprised, but I think that if people are wearing masks and you are out in the open, I would be fine with riding 3 on a 4 seater or 4 on a 6 seater.

Personally, I'm thinking 2 on a 4, or 3 on a 6... 3 on a 4 still puts 2 people right next to each other (depending on the seat and how it feels to sit dead center - I've been on some where that's uncomfortable).

 

[Tricia]

To anyone who skis Mt Rose. Ask yourself this...How often do you ride a full 6 pack?
I think it will be pretty easy to just ride with your party or with others you know and bump into on the mountain.

I can totally see us (@Philpug @Andy Mink and I) riding alone or with the handful of people we know and bump into.
Heck, we know and ski with enough people we could easily fill a couple six packs
