The future is looking faster
This summer is expected to see continued improvements with the addition of snowmaking to the Slide Bowl as well as various other resort enhancements. But the bigger news is a little further out... Mt. Rose is pleased to announce the future LAKEVIEW EXPRESS, a new high speed, modern chairlift to be completed by opening day of the 2022-23 season. The contract has been signed and this project is set to replace the current Lakeview triple.
Beloved by many, this 41 year old lift saw much greater ridership this past season (COVID chair restrictions), and proved the need for increased lift capacity to intermediate and even novice terrain. Yes, the high-speed lift will include access to a new "Lakeside Trail" which create another route from the top of the lift to the Around the World run. Estimated to be the largest capital improvement project in the history of Mt. Rose, this express lift will be a key part in an overall "Lakeview Experience" involving trail additions, enhancements, and overall skier traffic benefits in the greater plan of this mountain zone. As an added bonus, this lift will provide expansive views of Lake Tahoe.
So as we begin to see the snowpack lean out and the warmer temps take over (April 18 final day), keep the return of the cool breeze on the slopes of YOUR MOUNTAIN fresh in your mind. Winter will return before you know it. Again our sincere appreciation goes out to all of our guests for doing their part to keep us going strong during the 2020-21 season.
