Ski season for Tahoe’s downhill and cross-country resorts is fasting approaching, with several snow storms already covering the upper elevations in the region. Mt. Rose anticipants opening its downhill ski area on Nov. 12, but there’s already been skiing on Nevada Nordic’s cross-country trails.
The trail system in Tahoe Meadows near the Mount Rose summit operates by donations and won’t be groomed until there is more snow, but it is open for public use. Check conditions by visiting Nevada Nordic on Facebook.
Auburn Ski Club will open its Nordic ski area on Nov. 13. Trail systems at local state parks are open as conditions permit. All dates listed are dependent on conditions. Visit ski area websites for updated information.
