RENO, NV – Jan. 4, 2017 – The monster winter storm that is currently making its way through the Lake Tahoe area has brought five feet of new snow to Mt.

Rose.

“This storm has been incredible. Five feet of snow has piled up over the past couple of days, and it’s continuing to fall fast this afternoon,” said Mike Pierce, director of marketing at Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe. “This system and those forecast to come behind it are setting us up for an incredible winter season, and one of the snowiest January’s in years.”
